on pre-install.

Hi Zoran,
That is to say after you failed to download an app sucessfully but its shortcut already showed on Home, click this shortcut. Then this app will start downloading itself. The issue is: after the download is completed,some default settings for location in APP permissions are not correct?

It is possible to preload appcache for a hosted app and have an initial offline support. (See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developing_Gaia/Market_customizations_guide#How_do_you_prepare_a_preloaded_hosted_app_for_initial_offline_support.3F) In this case, if app whose cache is preloaded is of trusted kind and requires permissions, these permissions would not have been granted since 'kind' was not resolved. This is fixed in this bug.
