After a bit more experimenting over the festive holidays, the definitive position is this:
HTTP, all browsers - "Add to homescreen" puts a widget on the home screen that launches the moode interface in a new full tab with address bars and all in the browser it was made in. The widget is the moode logo with the browser logo superimposed.
HTTPS, no matter how it's made to work, and assuming any warnings have been accepted
- Chrome: "Add to homescreen" action results in a proper "install" of the web app, it appears as an app like any other and opens full screen with no address bars or what have you.
- Chromium based browsers (most of the others): "Add to homescreen" action results in a widget on the homescreen that looks as it does for the HTTP version, but actually opens a full screen new instance of the interface, as always used to be the case. Not quite as integrated as the Chrome behaviour, but acceptable.
- Firefox: As was always the case, just opens the interface in a new tab.
So in short, it is working pretty much the same as it ever did as long as the browser thinks that the connection is secure.
