My understanding at this point is that we are working towards running webapps in an isolated webapps container, ie, neither firefox nor chromium, but instead our own webbrowser-app (which is a very lightweight webkit browser spawned from the Ubuntu Touch project).
The goal of doing it this way is that it will allow us to drop a large amount of hard-to-maintain code from unity-firefox-extension and unity-chromium-extension, and provide for a smoother overall experience (eg, chromeless windows for webapps to run in, better/easier integration with the Unity launcher/switcher/etc).
