2. Launch GIS Cloud
3. Compare the app launched to https://www.giscloud.com/app

The behavior in desktop firefox and web runtime should be equivalent - No security warning should be reported.

Actual:

Desktop firefox does not report a security warning, where as the desktop runtime does.

I see the security warning when going to that page in Firefox. The main difference is that the checkbox is deselected by default in Firefox while it's checked by default in the runtime.

Hmm. This sounds like a consistency issue. Should we default to the same behavior as firefox? Or is acceptable to be different?

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in it.
