This affects B2G Desktop 1.3 mozilla-aurora and 1.4 mozilla-central (master).

Tested with:

Hi Gary,

the twittershare application has been deprecated since twitter exposed their own web activity to perform the share.

That was created as a showcase on how it can work.

I'm wondering if we should remove this app from the testing ones.

Thanks Francisco! I filed bug 959447 to remove the twittershare app, which will fix this issue.
