My app is not fully embedding, being denied permission

Question

Hi. So I am making a Firefox OS webapp. I'm using the <iframe> function to display a web page. The problem is that only about a 3rd of the screen is displaying the web space. Here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/POJU3lL.png
Here are the 2 errors in my firefox os simulator:
Denied permission 'browser' for app type 'web'.
Denied permission 'embed-apps' for app type 'web'.
Here is my manifest.webapp:
<pre><nowiki>{ "name": "Forum",
"description": "testing, testing!",
"permissions": {
"browser": {},
"embed-apps": {}
"launch_path": "/index.html",
"developer": { "name": "Mobile Mod",
"url": "http://mobilemod.net" },
"icons": {
"16": "/img/icon16.png",
"32": "/img/icon32.png",
"48": "/img/icon48.png",
"64": "/img/icon64.png",
"128": "/img/icon128.png" },
"default_locale": "en" }</nowiki></pre>
How do I extend the size of the &lt;iframe&gt;?

Hello,
The iframe issue is because iframes are sized differently than other elements like divs. Some styles like ''height: 100%;'' probably won't work. You may want to use the [https://developer.mozilla.org/web/css/calc css calc property] instead.
As for the manifest issue, you need to specify the "Description" property for each permission according to [https://developer.mozilla.org/Apps/Developing/Manifest#permissions MDN]. Anyway, you don't need the embed-apps permission if your app doesn't need to install other apps. Also, the Browser API is only needed if you need advanced browsing functions. The more permissions your app needs, the harder it is to get it approved on the Marketplace.
Hope this helps!<br>
