While they're calling it Fizz, according to https://plus.google.com/+FrancoisBeaufort/posts/V6vWgFnKK75 it's actually just a fancy name for API tech that's already kicking about.
>From there: - Service Workers¹ provide a way for applications to reliably "go offline". - Push API² used by application servers to send messages to web apps, whether or not the app is active in a browser window. - Network Information API³ to access the underlying connection information of the device. - Geofencing API⁴ makes it possible to be notified when a device enters or leaves specific regions. As far as I'm aware (could be wrong, I'm new to all this b2g stuff), this is just open web stuff that's already being made available to FFOS, especially the first 3 at least. Not familiar with a similar API to Geofencing, but the others are definitely available to us.
