701172 - Fix functional persona snippet to play well with session restore

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Snippets Graveyard :: HTML5, defect)

Description

[Laura Forrest]

Please fix the functional persona snippet so that this does not happen: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682944

I believe the complexity was with use of the iFrame, but am not sure.

Consider that this may be a client side fix.

The issue was caused by using an iframe, yes.

I believe this is a client-side fix. We cannot get rights to preview/install personas without being on a domain like addons.mozilla.org or getpersonas.com. As far as we know, using an iframe pointing to these domains is the only way to get this snippet to work.

The alternative to using an iframe would be getting about:home permission to install personas or addons, which is also a client fix, so either way, we can't do much.
