704652 - No intuitive way to bring up the BrowserID log-in prompt from the extension after dismissing it the first time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 704392

(Web Apps :: Extension, defect)

Description

[Mohamed Dabbagh]

When the user first installs the extension, a pop-up appears in the bottom right corner of Firefox allowing them to log-in to BrowserID. However, if they dismiss the pop-up, there is no easy way to bring it back unless the user disables and re-enables the extension or re-installs it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Install the apps extension - Can be found here http://people.mozilla.com/~dclarke/openwebapps/Extension/ and look for openwebapps-6b34ccec35-11_21_2011.xpi
3. Notice the pop-up that appears in the bottom right of Firefox
4. Click somewhere on the page you are on to dismiss the pop-up

Actual Results:
There is now no intuitive way to bring back the pop-up without disabling and then re-enabling the extension or re-installing it completely.

Expected Results:
There would be some way the user can bring that prompt back to log-in to BrowserID. Maybe a mouse hover over the 'Apps' icon in the add-ons bar? Maybe through the Dashboard like the HTML5 implementation in Chrome?
