How do I relaunch a webapp?

I'm running Aurora 31.0a2 (2014-05-24) on Linux Mint 15 (one of the ubuntu derivatives).

I browsed to here: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/gauth-authenticator and installed the webapp.

Now that I've installed it, the only way I can see to relaunch the app is to browse to the same page and click the "Launch" button. This seems kind of awkward.

I've also been unable to find any documentation on how you're supposed to use webapps under firefox.

So after poking around a bit, I noticed that it seems to have installed the webapp into ~/.gauthauthenticator-78ef3156e1ca5b74c14beac161614be7 and I can run the webapprt-stub from the command line from within that directory.

Thus I can create a launcher for my desktop. But I'd never expect a regular user to figure any of this out. So much for simple.
