Hi.
I assume you are dealing with a packaged app, not a hosted app? A hosted app 
does not have any of these problems -- if possible, use a hosted app (you can 
still cache it to make it perform like a packaged app).

The origin parameter is not yet documented. It will be supported only in 
Firefox OS 1.1, not 1.0 (which is the version shipping). The origin is indeed 
intended to solve your exact problem and you can read about it here 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=852720 The patch may also help to 
understand it
