Then if you scraped the web for manifests you could link to these

There is something a little wonky right now, that the installed app
record doesn't give you enough information to share the app with anyone
else, because the manifestURL might not be enough to install the app,
and certainly isn't a good preview of the app, and the installOrigin
just refers to the store and not the installation page. OTOH, if we
saved the URL of the page that called navigator.mozApps.install then
that would probably fix that.
Yes, I think it might even be valuable to mandate that every app have a
self-install page. That way, anyone wishing to link to the app can just
point at it:
{
"install_page": "/install.html"
}
I prefer this approach over linking to a store listing, though stores
may have their own sharing features.
This will break down for packaged apps though, any suggestions?
