| == Issues & Risks == | | == Bugs == |
| * [https://github.com/andreasgal/gaia/issues/25 Browser content doesn't scroll with touch events]
| |
| * Need to make popup windows (e.g. alert, authentication and window.open) work {{bug|716664}}
| |
| * Need a better solution for ignoring X-Frame-Options headers for <iframe mozbrowser> elements (B2G currently just has a pref which disables them for whitelisted domains)
| |
| * Find a way to use the iframe's window.history instead of having to re-implement the history API inside the app. (some discussion in {{bug|708179}})
| |
| * Some UX Unknowns (see Design section)
