Oddly enough, this app dialog comes from a div called "fbLikePopup" (must be recycling):

<div id="fbLikePopup">
    <div class="close"></div>
    <!--<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-…-->
    <img style="width: 50px; margin-top: 30px; margin-left: -25px;" src="http://images.rottentomatoescdn.com/images/mobile/flixlogo.png"></img>
    <div class="instructions" style="margin-top: -53px;"></div>
</div>

Just below that, in an inline script:

// really need to close immediately 
$("#fbLikePopup").show();
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'RT Mobile', 'MSK Mobile_Homepage Popup', 'Shown']);
etc.

$("#fbLikePopup .close").click(function(){
  $("#fbLikePopup").hide();
  _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'RT Mobile', 'MSK Mobile_Homepage Popup', 'Dismissed']);
});

It looks like the href that gets clicked for the Install button) is a service that likely directs to the app store or google play:

<a id="mskLink" style="text-decoration: none; float: right; margin-top: -35px; margin-right: 10px;" href="http://ad-x.co.uk/API/click/FLIX284hgkf9DP/525597f7696da">

Suggested fixes: Either detect FxOS on the server side and don't render the fbLikePopUp div, or do it clientside (something like if (!/(mobile;.+firefox/i.test(navigator.userAgent){$("#fbLikePopup").show();}, etc.). 

Ideally there would be some way to detect if the app was launched from... an app and wouldn't appear. :)

One more thing--Fennec and B2G are not redirected to the mobile site when you visit rottentomatoes.com directly, we might want to suggest that.

Lisa,

could you contact the developer of Rotten Tomatoes app about this issue? 
Thanks

Rotten Tomatoes isn't a Marketplace app, so I don't have any contact info.

Oh it's not an app then. I was confused by the description of the QA test. Thanks Lisa.
