Hi.

My problem is occurring with Iceweasel 31.1.0 (a slightly modified version of Firefox by Debian), on Debian GNU/Linux 8/jessie/testing with the environment Xfce 4.

For testing, I have installed an app on the Firefox Marketplace that I made. https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/device-information/ After installing (without asking SuperUser rights), I have a new menu "Others", in the list of apps of Xfce 4, with my app (that does not launch but is is an other problem); and Firefox Marketplace says to me "Exécuter cette application depuis votre dash, sélecteur d'application, ou menu application.". In tools of the menu bar, I have nothing new. Moreover, I did not find a tab for apps or my app in a tab of "Plugins". I have a folder "~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/webapps/{*}/" that contains the manifest of the app, but not the content (the app can be used without Internet access). Moreover, there is "removable": true in "~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/webapps/webapps.json". How can I remove the app?

Thanks.

On Windows, Marketplace apps appear to install directly to the system instead of as part of Firefox.

For Linux, I found this old post but I don't know whether it's still relevant: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/959180#answer-461827

I had a folder (that contained my app in a zip) : ~/.informationssurlappareil-9b5cf527268715b52150beaf4b2d9c7d There was also a file : ~/.local/share/applications/owa-informationssurlappareil-9b5cf527268715b52150beaf4b2d9c7d.desktop I deleted both, and then the application seemed to be removed. Thanks.

It is strange that there is no an easier/graphical way in Firefox/Iceweasel it-self.
