User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4

Steps to reproduce:

Load a web app installed with Firefox on Android or possibly on B2G.


Actual results:

What I see during start up:

 1. Load screen with app icon and animating circle.

 2. App in uninitialized state, possibly with own loader animation. This is ugly!

 3. App, ready to use.


Expected results:

When the load screen should appear until the app is initialized.

Solution proposal:

  * Add  field to web app manifest:

    "load_screen": "permanent"

  * Provide an interface to hide load screen (called from the app):

    navigator.hideLoadScreen()

There would be completely separate implementations and design discussions required for Firefox OS and Firefox for Android. Since the bug was more targets Android originally, I'm sending this over to FxAndroid Web Apps component. Feel free to open a separate bug for Firefox OS though.

Upon further discussion with Myk, we're going to use the DOM Apps component for tracking manifest feature requests, so I'm moving this back over to DOM Apps.
