Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[GH to BZ]

[GitHub issue by benfrancis on 2012-07-18T11:55:16Z, https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/2583]
Homescreen broken when viewed in Firefox Nightly.

Environment:
Firefox Nightly running Gaia from localhost using the HTTP server setup created by Gaia build process.

Steps to reproduce:
* Run /path/to/firefox_nightly -profile /path/to/generated/profile to load system.gaiamobile.org:8080 over localhost in Nightly
* Unlock screen

Expected:
* App icons shown

Actual:
* No app icons shown
* "uncaught exception: 2147500033" in console log

@fabi1cazenave has suggested this may be related to settings. This has been broken since the Barcelona work week but has previously worked.

Closing this as invalid as the real issue is the fact that the profile does not include the proper permissions. This is resolved with the plugin, but we should do more work to address this so we can run it without a plugin. As there are no actionable items here, I'll close this out and continue to track the issue in bug #847723.
