On any platform that doesn't support app installation (packaged apps on Android/Desktop or hosted apps on Chrome/Safari/IE, etc.), we say "This app is unavailable for your platform."

We should provide a link to install Firefox (and the correct version: 16.0a1+) or Firefox OS (lol). Give me copy, and I'll add this.

Maria, Krupa, Wil, someone with poetic prose skillz, can I get copy for these cases:

* You're on an out-of-date Firefox version (< 16.0a1) and you can't install a hosted-manifest app.
* You're on Android Browser/Chrome/iOs and you can't install a hosted-manifest app.
* You're on Firefox Desktop/Fennec/Chrome/iOs and you can't install a packaged app.

A copy proposal for each of the cases:

- To use this app, update your [[Firefox]].
- To use this app, [[download and install Firefox]].
- This apps is only available in Firefox OS.

This is awesome, I was going to file a bug for this. Could we extend the functionality for the Android cases with deep links into Google Play to download a compatible version?
