908718 - Persona login doesn't work in WebApp installed in Firefox for Android

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 826325

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), defect)

Description

[Shane Tomlinson [:stomlinson]]

Copied from https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3807

I put a simple Persona login into one of my sites. The login works on Firefox and Firefox OS - no matter if opened in a browser tab or as a installed WebApp. It works also on Firefox for Android (23 stable up to 26 nightly), but *not as a WebApp, that is installed in Firefox for Android*.

*Expected result:*
The navigator.id.request() call should open a login screen.

*Actual result:*
The navigator.id.request() call does nothing.

That's the website: http://www.birdgames.de/
WebApp Manifest: http://www.birdgames.de/birdgames.webapp

*Steps to reproduce:*
* mobile view: Click "Login" in the main menu. The main menu can be opened at the top left corner.
* desktop and tablet view: Click "Login" in the footer menu (scroll to the bottom of the page).

I haven't found and issue that tracks that problem. Also I've tried to use remote debugging to figure out the problem, but remote debugging doesn't work with WebApps on FF for Android.
