Putting [notcontactready] for confirmation by mike about the issue.

When we click the button download app. We call:
http://m-a-tb.sndcdn.com/all_b82ea7d.js

        a.delegate(SC.OpenInApp.className, 'click.tracking', function () {
            var g = $(this);
            d.trackEvent('open_in_app', g.find('.text') .text(), Backbone.history.getFragment())
        })


The OpenInApp

SC.OpenInApp = {
    className: '.open-in-app',
    iTunesUrl: 'itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soundcloud/id336353151?mt=8&uo=6',
    marketUrl: 'market://details?id=com.soundcloud.android',
    $el: null,
    clicked: null,
    initialize: function () {
        this.$el = $(this.className);
        this.decorate()
    },
    decorate: function () {
        if (SC.isAndroid) this.$el.attr('href', this.marketUrl);
         else SC.isIOS && this.$el.attr('href', this.iTunesUrl);
        SC.authorization.isLoggedIn || $(document.body) .addClass('showAppButton')
    }
};

proposes only two apps: Android and iOS. So basically the button on Firefox OS is… useless.
This issue must happen on all devices which are not Android and iOS.

Maybe a solution would be for SoundCloud 

   * to not show the button in the first place if not iOS or Android
OR * to link to https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/soundcloud
