Regression from 1.4. But I think this is more System issue. What do you think :kgrandon?

Comment 2

[Kevin Grandon :kgrandon]

Yes, I don't think that the homescreen would control this, so moving to the relevant system component.

Comment 3

[Kevin Grandon :kgrandon]

I am pretty sure this is not related to homescreen, so I'd like to remove blocking on bug 1015336 for now.

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Note - Tetris isn't a hosted app, it's an e.me app.

This is definitely a blocker though. App processes should always be killed if the app is uninstalled.

(In reply to Jason Smith [:jsmith] from comment #4)
I confirm. I was not able to reproduce it with ConnectA2 (privileged) or Facebook (hosted).

Hi Candice, could you find someone for this? Thank you.

Comment 7

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

This isn't a vertical homescreen bug.

Comment 8

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

QA Wanted to recheck 1.4 again.

Comment 9

[Ben Francis [:benfrancis]]

I'm not sure this is desirable behaviour. The wrapper windows e.me bookmarks open in are basically just like browser tabs which can navigate to any URL, there's no app manifest set in the mozapp attribute to identify them as a particular app.

If I bookmark Google News from e.me to the homescreen, open Google news, tap on a news article to navigate the wrapper window to a news site, then remove the bookmark from the homescreen, I wouldn't expect my news story to get killed. You wouldn't expect a browser tab to close if you removed a bookmark in the browser. e.me "apps" in the sense that they're not "installed" they're just bookmarks which start a browser window at a particular URL.

I rechecked on today's 1.4 (Buri), 1.4 (OpenC) and 1.3 (Buri). The problem can be hit.

The reason why I thought it was working in comment #1 is because of an OOM with 1.4 Buri that killed the app (reproduced with the camera app running in the background).

Confirmed on today's 1.4 Flame that issue occurs. Tetris process continues to display in card view after uninstallation.

Comment 12

[Candice Serran (:cserran)]

Team is looking into this to confirm regression

Comment 13

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

This is not a regression.

A e.me app in 1.4 will continue to be in a process even if the e.me app is removed.
A marketplace hosted app (Youtube app ) will stop and get killed on deletion. (this occurs on 1.4 and master)

As discussed in the system front end meeting, the difference is the hosted app versus bookmark, and the e.me app is a bookmark.

Need UX input please; see comment 9.

Comment 14

[Francis Djabri [:djabber]]

I think consistency here is important. Once we move bookmarks to the home screen, I think expectations may shift and the behavior should be consistent with other apps on the home screen. And so the process should be killed once the bookmark has been deleted. However, we should ensure that the delete confirmation dialog mentions the process will be closed down.
