This is related to the HTML5 implementation and occurs when using browsers other an Firefox as well.

This now works properly with the latest code from develop. Tested with Firefox (8.0.1 and 9b4), Chrome, Safari and Opera on Windows 7. Also tested on Firefox 8.0.1 and 9b4 on Windows XP, Vista and Mac. The app is launched in a new tab now (not in an app tab and this is the expected behavior without the extension installed).
