The error window
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212
Steps to reproduce:
Using the latest Firefox (22.0), installing a Webapp and trying to download a file from the application (.doc, .pdf, .csv).
Actual results:
Instead of a download window, there is a window with a XML error. The error says something about a missing component "<description>&intro2.label;</description>".
Expected results:
The expected result is a window to choose where to save the file on my hard drive.
Which webapp? Did you try with another browser?

I was asked to open this bug request, when I was searching for help on IRC, #openwebapps
I was testing with latest Firefox (22.0) both on Windows 7 and Windows XP. What do you mean by "another" browser? You can simply create a test webapp, with a simple manifest file. And then add a link to a file like:
<a href="/path/to/example_file.doc">test to download</a>
And then you'll see the error message.

So could you attach such a testcase as webapp. It would help to test.

3 files in the web directory:
example.webapp:
{
"name": "My App",
"description": "Testing the download bug",
"launch_path": "/",
"icons": {
"128": "/img/icon-128.png"
},
"developer": {
"name": "Your name or organization",
"url": "http://example.org"
},
"default_locale": "en"
}
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Bug example</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="example.doc">download this file, baby</a>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<button id="install-app">install webapp</button>
</body>
<script>
var installApp = document.getElementById("install-app");
if (installApp) {
installApp.addEventListener("click", function() {
var mozApps = navigator.mozApps;
if (mozApps) {
var installing = navigator.mozApps.install("http://test.plustour.net/example.webapp");
installing.onsuccess = function(e) {
var installApp = document.getElementById("install-app");
installApp.textContent = "Already Installed";
installApp.disabled = true;
};
}
});
}
</script>
</html>
and a file for download... example.doc
The result is... The file can be downloaded using the browser (Firefox 22).
But if you click "install" and then open it as a web app... The file can not be downloaded.
Test it here:
http://test.plustour.net/

I think this one is the same:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851217
But obviously not for OS X only, happens on Windows too (tested on both Win 7 and Win XP).

As I said in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851217
With 27.0 we have a dialog box, which was the idea. But now every downloaded file has 0 bytes size.
The same files are Ok when downloaded via regular browser.
