Details

Currently, clearing private data for the ev.me apps and the homescreen bookmarks is done this way: - the settings application changes the clear.remote-windows.data settings - the system application watches this setting and then calls clearBrowserData() on itself. We can get rid of the settings hack by doing it this way: - at build time, create a setting with the manifest URL of the system app. - the settings application can then use this setting to get a handle on the system application object (that works because the settings app has the webapps-manage permission) and call clearBrowserData() on this object.
fabrice, do we still need this?

It seems like we could clean up the clear.remote-windows.data leftovers (https://mxr.mozilla.org/gaia/search?string=clear.remote-windows.data) but not much more.

Thanks, its still worth to remove redundant pref for quality
