issue #1

Amazon Cloud Reader WebApp does not work in Chromium Browser or Google Chrome—it appears to run stable as it opens, but when I try to open next page, nothing happens because app is frozen—though it does allow me to quit app with close button in upper corner.

ACRW freezing problem started after dist-upgrade from 12.04 from 12.10. unity and compiz are up to date. nvidia driver: nvidia-current. Chromium and Chrome: latest versions.

issue #2

Pandora WebApp does not open at all in Firefox(problem might be caused by experimental version or security settings), but Pandora site runs normal with command line: chromium-browser --app http://www.pandora.com, so I'm content with that, since I can not find a 'chromium-browser --app' equivalent in Firefox.

note: sometimes Firefox window does not display at all, so I try to load Firefox more than once, then find multiple instances of Firefox in System Monitor>>Processes tab

the good news...

ACRW works well in experimental Firefox(Aurora version 20.0a2, 1-19-2013), so I changed default browser from Chromium to experimental Firefox(Aurora). so far, I am able to run all but one webapp with unity-webapps-runner: facebookmessenger, gmail, launchpad, livemail, yahoomail, youtube, amazoncloudreader (Pandora runs as app with 'chromium-browser --app')
