Comment 2

[James Burke [:jrburke]]

This occurs because the email manifest.webapp specified an "disposition": "window" for activities, which means it only allows one email window in firefox OS. This is done because of limitations of APIs in web workers. 

However, there is hope that during the 3.0 timeframe that we will get enough apis on workers and some other window messaging capabilities to go to an "disposition": "inline" activity, and this will address this issue.

The < (back) arrow behavior is different on master/3.0 than 2.2 and before because bug 1128739 got rid of the confirm prompt that used to prompt the user to set up an account.

End result, I expect this to improve once we can go disposition inline.
