741431 - On prompt for install of a web app, the user should have the option to add an app shortcut and launch immediately post install

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Steps:

	1. Install the latest fennec native nightly
	2. Go to apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir
	3. Select an app to install

Expected:

The prompt that appears should include the option to add the app to the homescreen immediately and launch immediately post install. This was a feature in the Soup prototype of the install process for apps.

Actual:

The prompt only includes an ok and cancel optoin. There is no indication of being able to add an app shortcut and launch immediately post install.

Additional Notes:

This is a UX bug. As a user, I did like that Soup had this feature, as I could easily get to using the app immediatley post install and see the app on my homescreen. I think Fennec Native's implementation of web apps should follow the same procedure.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
OS: Android 4.02
Build: Fennec Native Nightly

bug 741608 makes this feature unnecessary.
