1034379 - Detect if we are in a packaged app or not

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Integration, defect, P3)

Description

[Andy McKay]

Firefox Accounts native on Firefox 2.0 will only work if the app is privileged. The Marketplace is a privileged app, but only when installed as an app. Currently we allow the Marketplace to be installed as a privileged app, or a hosted app or work through the browser.

Only the former will work for using mozId and the "native flow". For the other cases when its run on Firefox 2.0 as hosted or in a browser we can:
* show a message saying "sorry you must install as an app"
* use the web based flow
* do something else?

I think web based flow since someone could send a link to the marketplace web site and we would like to preserve the continuity. I think that makes sense.
