Description

After building Firefox from trunk, running ./mach webapprt-test-chrome against the build fails with the exception "This copy of Firefox (20141111122617) cannot run Apps, because it is missing the Web Runtime's application.ini file":

(I trashed all other copies of Firefox on my system before running tests to ensure the stub didn't try launching the app with a different runtime.)

Of note: console output says the "WebappRT application.ini path" is (/Users/myk/Projects/gecko-dev/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0/) dist/Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/webapprt/webapprt.ini, but that file doesn't exist.

The parent directory dist/Nightly.app/Contents/Resources/webapprt does exist, except that it isn't a directory, it's a regular file.  Meanwhile, both dist/bin/webapprt/webapprt.ini and webapprt/webapprt.ini do exist, and the former is a symlink to the latter.

This path certainly doesn't look right either...

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in it.
