Description

On Windows, the manifest.webapp file for Firefox OS has an invalid path. The file must be edited manually to get the app to work.

To reproduce:

• Install Cordova 3.5.0
• Create a new project: cordova create test
• In the test folder, add FxOS: cordova platform add firefoxos
• Package the app. For FxOS all that needs to be done is prepare: cordova prepare firefoxos
• In Firefox (at least version 26), go to about:app-manager
• Click Apps on the left, and then "Add Packaged App" on the bottom. Select test/platforms/firefoxos/www
• On the right-hand side, notice the error: "Launch path has to be an absolute path starting with '/': '\index.html'"

I have a fix ready for this and will submit a pull request on GitHub.
