Are other widgets removed from the home-screen on other application uninstall? What happens when you interact with Firefox widget? Does the widget turn into a 'Problem loading widget' frame?

I tried with some other apps that have widgets. After I uninstall the app the widget turns into a 'Problem loading widget' frame.

Tapping on the Firefox widget doesn't do anything.

This may be related to the bug 1078182.

I'm okay with a WONTFIX here. Leaving the decision to wesj :)

Sounds like a bug with the platform. Not worth fixing IMO.
