Incidentally, this can also cause it to appear that code changes are not installed on the device when you use 'make install-gaia'. The reason is that the old /data/local/webapps is still there and the apps are being launched from that location instead of your newly installed location. I believe 'make reset-gaia' will fix this for you.

Also, if you are in the habit of doing manual resets by doing 'rm -r /data/local /data/b2g' you may run into bug 947204. This causes the user.js preferences to get installed in the wrong location when the /data/local directory is missing.

Just FYI, in case that helps anyone.

TLDR: You may need to do a reset-gaia if you often install single

In bug 945903 we changed the default path of installed apps for eng
builds from /data/local to /system/b2g. This was because people with
PRODUCTION builds were often having trouble seeing apps update when
running the make install-gaia APP=_____ command. The app would go
into a different folder, and not be updated in the /system folder.

Due to the path change, you may need to remake gaia if you are
running an older eng build and use the Makefile to install a single
apps. Sorry if this causes inconvenience, but this should be better
for the long-run. (Note that you can override this by passing in
GAIA_INSTALL_PARENT, but I would recommend doing a reset-gaia)
