Not sure if the JSON is the error. It'll raise the not-well-formed message, but still work: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/5010715 I can get rid of the error with overrideMimeType, but it's non-trivial to bake in and might not help.

views.js isn't rendering the page. Running ```var view = require('views').match('/app.html'); require('views').build(view[0], view[1]);``` renders the page. There's something up with navigation.js.

I tried this today, but I was able to see content when using airplane mode : http://screencast.com/t/b4zzOyiGNjJ

I think it gets up to this point at homepage.js: utils_local.checkOnline().done(function() { // Online. console.log("Building online homepage."); build(urls.api.unsigned.url('collection', ['tarako-featured'], params), 'apps'); }).fail(function() { // Offline. console.log("Building offline homepage."); build(settings.offline_homepage, 'apps'); }); And then it never builds the page.

We're doing an offline page now https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001777 Otherwise, the data is accessible when offline. It's just we had troubles rendering it.

Offline page is shown when user launches the app in Airplane mode.
