Just a heads-up to QA and Dogfooders that we just deleted the browser app from the master branch of Gaia, saying goodbye to ~10,000 lines of code and making way for the new Haida user interface with shiny new integrated system browser!
As has been mentioned in that bug, the browser icon has not dissapeared in master, this is an issue with the vertical homescreen not being used on the tablet build, its a bug needing to be fixed.
I dont know the details / timelines of the tablet projects, it may be an idea for the various teams to start building / testing with the tablet so it doesnt lag in the same way it does now (its usually easier to fix these issues earlier in the pipeline)

There's a lot of people unhappy (especially non-developers) with losing the browser (cf https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1059697) ... anyone know where the best place would be to kick off a debate about keeping the browser (alongside the bar)?

In other words, you don't have to open the rocket bar to search on the Web, just tap the Firefox icon (I confirm, just flashed master on flame). What Dale is saying is that tablets don't have it and that's just a bug.

Re, Joe Cheng Sent from Firefox OS
I can't see the Firefox icon in the tablet using the last good build (September 30)
What Dale is saying is that tablets don't have it and that's just a bug.
which suggests to me that someone IS trying to take the browser out.
Many thanks YF! However, 20140930 GOOD shows no browser app in the homescreen!!
