Details

(Whiteboard: [WebRuntime])

The "name, version, developer, and locales fields in your app manifest must be exactly the same as in your mini-manifest" for packaged apps, according to <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Marketplace/Publishing/Packaged_apps#Mini-manifest_fields>. And if they aren't, then DOMApplicationRegistry installation fails, which causes the app to hang on launch, per bug 993199. It should do something more friendly instead.
Also see APK Factory bug 996072.
Whiteboard: [WebRuntime]
Per bug 1235869, we're going to disable the Android web runtime, so we won't fix this bug in it. (This is part of a bulk resolution of bugs in the Firefox for Android::Web Apps component, from which I attempted to exclude bugs that are not specific to the runtime, but it's possible that I included one accidentally. If so, I'm sorry, and please reopen the bug!)
