Hi,

I don't understand how something like this would work?
https://github.com/geoelectric/webapi-smoke-sprint/blob/master/settings/test_launcher.html
Are regular mochitests allowed to load a webapp in an iframe, just by
adding the 'webapp' attribute?
So normal websites can do the same too, then, right?
And there is not a security problem with that?
Anyway, it's cool that it works!

About the Permissions notifications issue, that is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685652 as David Chan mentioned.
It needs a similar treatment as the PushPrefEnv patch.
A workaround that probably can be used, is adding a lame
setTimeout(nextTest, 0). That worked with the pref setting before the
PushPrefEnv patch, iirc.

Regards,
Martijn
