Steps to reproduce:

I have two HTML files. One of them is "manifest.html" and references a cache manifest for my application :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" manifest="cache-manifest.manifest">
<head>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>


The other file is "application.html" which declares an iframe containing "manifest.html" :

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="/manifest.html" id="appCacheFrame"></iframe>
</body>
</html>



Actual results:

When I load "application.html" into my browser, no popup appears asking me to allow the use of application cache for this site. The "manifest.html" file is requested but not the "cache-manifest.manifest", probably because I am not able to give the authorization.

If I load "manifest.html" by itself (outside of an iframe), the popup appears and the cache manifest is loaded. Subsequent calls to "application.html" show that the manifest is requested, since the authorization to use application cache has now been given.


Expected results:

The application cache authorization popup should be displayed and the cache manifest should load. This is the observed behavior on the Windows version of Firefox.

Same behaviour with:

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:18.0) Gecko/18.0 Firefox/18.0
Wes/Mark, is the above expected behaviour correct?
