Not sure if the JSON is the error. It'll raise the not-well-formed message, but still work:

I can get rid of the error with overrideMimeType, but it's non-trivial to bake in and might not help.

views.js isn't rendering the page.

Running ```var view = require('views').match('/app.html'); require('views').build(view[0], view[1]);``` renders the page. There's something up with navigation.js.

I tried this today, but I was able to see content when using airplane mode : http://screencast.com/t/b4zzOyiGNjJ

I think it gets up to this point at homepage.js:

 utils_local.checkOnline().done(function() {
            // Online.
            console.log("Building online homepage.");
            build(urls.api.unsigned.url('collection', ['tarako-featured'], params), 'apps');
        }).fail(function() {
            // Offline.
            console.log("Building offline homepage.");
            build(settings.offline_homepage, 'apps');
        });

And then it never builds the page.

We're doing an offline page now https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001777

Otherwise, the data is accessible when offline. It's just we had troubles rendering it.

Offline page is shown when user launches the app in Airplane mode.
