1067465 - Error message/notification when trying to install app in guest mode restricted to 2 lines, cut off in many locales

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), defect, P2)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Firefox Aurora for Android 2014-09-15 on Android 4.1.2 (Nexus S)

The error message shown at the bottom when trying to install an app in guest mode is restricted to 2 lines, but is cut off in many locales e.g. German (and there are many longer ones, see http://transvision.mozfr.org/string/?entity=mobile/android/chrome/webapp.properties:webappsDisabledInGuest&repo=aurora )

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the language to German (menu Preferences > Language).
2. Launch Guest mode.
3. Visit https://marketplace.firefox.com/
4. Try to install the app featured on the landing page.

This landed with bug 1046885, Nightly changed the string in bug 1058150, but there is no indication that the bug got fixed (German and French haven't yet translated this on trunk, so not able to test with this).

Per bug 1235869, we're going to disable the Android web runtime, so we won't fix this bug in it.

(This is part of a bulk resolution of bugs in the Firefox for Android::Web Apps component, from which I attempted to exclude bugs that are not specific to the runtime, but it's possible that I included one accidentally.  If so, I'm sorry, and please reopen the bug!)
