The three FB apps that are possible probably are:

* The e.me Facebook app
* The http Facebook app
* The https Facebook app

We shouldn't be showcasing the http version of the Facebook app, so that's a TE issue.

Colby, can you please look into this bug and provide a fix date?

Elisa, I don't know anything about the e.me listing. Is that something we own or is that on your end?

The preferred manifest URL is https://m.facebook.com/openwebapp/manifest.webapp

I'm looking into the install prompt, to make sure we aren't encouraging people to install from other subdomains or something, but it seems to me that the big problem is e.me is installing a different manifest or not installing our manifest at all.

The bug here is that Buri 1.4 has a HTTP FB version installed. How can that be? All preloads should be changed to the HTTPS manifest URL.

On the 3 FB apps:

I don't understand the severity here: If we could create 2 apps with e.me and Marketplace; would that be a bug? If it is, it is a platform design bug.

The pre-installed version of Facebook is fixed in future phone updates. And using the HTTP version will trigger an update prompt and hopefully leading the user into deleting this outdated shortcut. This is suboptimal workaround and the best we could do at this point for bug 947498.

I would close this bug as wontfix as there is nothing FB can do here.
