606619 - Firefox Home does not recognize App Store links correctly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Selecting a site in native browser that contains Iphone Apps link on a website should launch the Native App store app.  unfortunately, clicking it acts like the desktop browser and launches it the website to itunes.

Repro:
1) install FF home 1.0.4b3.  Select native Apps = on
2) sync a site that has Appstore option and open it in the FF Home browser (eg. see URL pandora)
3) once the site is loaded, click "Download Pandora Now"
4) verify it opens the site in native browser with itunes download option, instead of offering the Native App store option

Expected:
- Opening a itunes App site should launch the Native App store app

Actual:
- it opens the site in the native browser instead with the itunes options to download the app
