But surely there is no difference between a B2G app and a Gaia app. A B2G
app is an Open Web App and a Gaia app is just an Open Web App written by
Mozilla.

A device may ship with one or more app store apps which have permission to
install and un-install Open Web Apps.

A device may also ship with pre-installed apps which already have
permissions assigned to them by the vendor on the user's behalf.

The user can view and change the permissions given to all apps (including
app store apps) using the permissions manager.
