What are the key differences between Firefox and the Chrome App?

Question

Both FF and Chrome began to support progressive web applications through the application manifest and work services.

So what are the key differences to consider when writing a manifest (or the same manifest file can work on both).

And if it is a hosted webapp (not packaged), what are the differences in this process so that the user can install it?
