Also, it may have been installed on some other device, just not this one.
In what scenario for we need this? The only related scenario I can think of is that a store would want to know which apps a user has purchased, bur not currently installed. But in this situation the store needs to keep track of which apps the user has paid for anyway. It couldn't trust information from the browser about which apps the user has or has not paid for. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
