That would fix this issue, and I think would be useful if we make navigating to a manifest trigger installation ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756976) So then you might have: { ... preferred_installation_page: "https://marketplace/app/this-app"; } (Maybe overridable by locale as well?) _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
