What kind of widget debugging is this about? The homescreen widgets on TVs?

Is there any widget on phone builds, or it this only on TV?
Do you know how widgets work at platform level?
Does it create a new iframe in the system app, like apps?
Or does it uses nested iframes?

Please refer to the wiki page [1]
Before bug 1043110 lands, we need to enable preference |dom.enable_widgets|.
mozWidget works on phone builds.

Generally all browser iframes work for mozWidgets.
However, inproc mozWidgets in a content process are not allowed per bug 1059662 
Nested OOP mozWidgets work after bug 1023737 lands.

I think widget/nested oop frames have been cancelled?
Should we close this bug?

WebIDE is slated for removal (bug 1314811), so there are no plans to add to the current set of features.
