The Gaia Browser app is a web browser implemented as a web app, for the front end of B2G
Status
- Feature Name: Gaia Browser App
- Stage: Development
- Release Target: B2G M2 - Demo Phone, Q1 2012
Team
- Front End Developer: Ben Francis

- UX: Josh Carpenter & Trond Werner Hansen
- Product Manager: Chris Lee

- Reviewers: Olli Pettay (back end), Vivien Nicolas (front end)
Issues & Risks
Browser content doesn't scroll with touch events- Need to make popup windows (e.g. alert, authentication and window.open) work bug 716664
- window.open should now work bug 721777
- 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)
- Window.top should stop at the iFrame to prevent parent navigation & frame busting (bug 704037)
- Some UX Unknowns (see Design section)

Design
The following are the designs provided by UX for Milestone 2 - Demo Phone:
Some open questions for the browser design post-M2:
- Whether to implement bookmarks at the browser level or at the homescreen level
- Whether to move tab management to the homescreen level
- Whether there should be an "awesomescreen" at the browser level or the homescreen level here
