What sounds like what's happening here is that the app itself is trying to install itself again after it's launched. This is a TE bug.

Andrew - Can you send a message over to the developer of the app about this?

[Andrew Williamson [:eviljeff]]

I can't replicate this on 1.1 unagi.

What about 1.2?

Comment 6

[Andrew Williamson [:eviljeff]]

on 1.2 keon I can replicate.  Developer not contacted yet - waiting until a platform regression has been ruled out.

Comment 7

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Sounds like this is a gecko regression then. Investigating this now.

Comment 8

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

This reproduces on desktop as well.

This is a confirmed TE bug. Here's why.

When you install Bubble Meadow from Firefox Marketplace, the manifest used is:

http://www.logicking.com/games/BubbleMeadow/bubbleMeadow.webapp

The launch path of that app is:

/html5/Firefox/BubbleMeadow/

That means when launching the hosted app, I'll go to:

http://www.logicking.com/html5/Firefox/BubbleMeadow/

Analyzing the source, you'll see that a script is loaded on startup titled js/firefoxInstall.js that tries to install this app:

http://www.logicking.com/html5/Firefox/BubbleMeadow/bubbleMeadow.webapp

That will as a result fire the error seen in this bug, which is expected in alignment with the DOM API. That means this was fixed in the 1.2 timeframe to do the correct behavior, where as 1.1 didn't do the right behavior.

Sounds like I confirmed above this is a TE bug. Can you outreach to the developer about this since I ruled out that this is not a platform bug?

Comment 11

[Andrew Williamson [:eviljeff]]

developer contacted

Comment 13

[Lisa Brewster [:adora]]

Issue not yet resolved and now reported on Android and Desktop, so I contacted the developer again and rejected on those platforms.

Mass closing on Tech Evangelism::Preinstalled B2G App as Firefox OS is no longer a thing.
