(bcc marketplace & b2g)

The manifest URL is the only reliable unique identifier for hosted apps, and 
currently we don't surface this to the user anywhere. We currently only expose 
data in the webapps manifest however this can change or become irrelevant to 
the web app hosted at a given URL. (e.g. 
https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/check-battery)

Bug 827562 proposes adding an origin to the install prompt. But should be 
showing the origin of a hosted app in the Marketplace, and also in the settings 
app (under the app permissions) section? How else is a user to know the origin 
associated with an app? 

I am curious though if this has been discussed in the past, and if there are 
any reasons why we don't want to show this information. (one challenge is how 
to deal with the origin of hosted apps, but there are some proposals in bug 
827562).

Thanks,
Paul
