Mozilla’s Firefox OS (also known as Boot to Gecko), a mobile operating system that
focuses on web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript, is quickly moving
through its development stages. While it’s already possible to install Firefox
OS on many phones, the Firefox OS team today launched its Firefox OS Simulator.
The simulator, which is still considered “experimental,” is basically a Firefox
add-on that should run on Windows, Mac and Linux (though there are currently
some known issues with Linux and Windows XP). Once you install the extension,
it will stay up to date with the latest Firefox OS developments, so you don’t
have to update it to have the current version. Mozilla hopes to release version 1.0 of the
simulator very soon (now 0.7).
