Is there a way to restict the network access of an application? In other words, is there a way to guarantee that an application will only operate in offline mode?

Hello,

At this moment from what I can see if that it's a download and try. Some apps description shows that it can work offline, some don't. This is something that is being worked on.

Well, more than just knowing if an application will work in offline mode, I'm interested in whether there's a way to forcibly the revoke network access of an application. For example, I don't think something like an epub reader should have network access and I want to insure it does not communicate to an external server.

Hi ekna,

At the moment the features of the application are designed by the developer. I do not see this in the Roadmap either. [https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Roadmap] However I would be happy to file a bug in Bugzilla for you to keep track of .[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=937954]
