A simple webapp bundle that only includes a customized icon, title etc but no .js should be safe and should be treated like a bookmark or a feed.

It was never a closely held secret either, it's on devmo. I don't think the security threat is as big a problem as people are claiming it to be. It does not install a webapp by itself without first prompting the user if they want to install it. This is not a whole lot different from installing an extension on a non-AMO webpage (the very fact that it is on AMO would suggest a more peer-reviewed, quality extension. But that's <a href="http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/index.html" rel="nofollow">not always</a> <a href="http://www.oxymoronical.com/" rel="nofollow">the case</a>). I suppose the real concern must be that we should have a large modal dialog box warning people of malicious content. That can always be a future enhancement. -dis: Correct, webapp.js runs with full chrome privileges (this was always a concern). It was never a closely held secret either, it’s on devmo.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't code in webapp.js run with chrome privileges? Webapps can become a lot more if they are able to access the filesystem, do xss or use drawWindow with no restrictions and I'm in favor of them being able to but there has to be a way to restrict them. Ideally they'd run with web privileges and only be able to use specific and sandboxed (i.e. only files in the webapp's folder) features. Great!
