Ask HN: The future of mobile apps

A while back I listened to a presentation by some guy (from Mozilla?) who talked about how mobile apps are preventing us from going into the future. What if we didn't have to install, manage and uninstall them? What if they were more like web pages in that you use and discard them as you go? Or perhaps more context-based, so you can find and use it just when you need it?

What do you think is the way forward?

I can't find the original link. Please add it if you know where it is.
