1.Introduction

Firefox OS is an open source mobile operating system from Mozilla, based on Linux and powered by Mozilla's Gecko technology.

Firefox OS. Referred to as Boot 2 Gecko or B2G (codename).

On July 25, 2011, Dr. Andreas Gal, Director of Research at Mozilla Corporation, announced the "Boot to Gecko" Project (B2G) on the Mozilla.

The idea behind Firefox OS is simple: building apps for the mobile web using exactly the same tools and languages as the desktop web.

Simply it's a Web App transformed in User Interface for your Smartphone.

Firefox OS is simple to create and work on. It is completely based on HTML5 and CSS3 just like a browser running on your phone.

Firefox OS Layers…

6.Working of Firefox

16

Gonk

Lower level operating system, consisting of a Linux kernel and Hardware.

Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).

Exposes hardware API to Gecko.

Gonk provides service-level daemons that handleGecko requests for mobile phone functionality and execute commands on the underlying device.

17

Gecko Gecko is the name of the layout engine developed by the Mozilla Project.

began at Netscape in 1997

It was originally named NGLayout.

Gecko's function is to read web content, such as HTML, CSS, XUL, JavaScript, and render it on user's screen or print it. In XUL-based applications Gecko is used to render the application's user interface as well.

Gecko is used in many applications, including a few browsers, such as Firefox, SeaMonkey, etc.

18

Gaia Gaia is the user interface level of Firefox OS.

Everything that appears on the screen after Firefox OS starts up is drawn by Gaia, including the lock screen, home screen, dialer, and other applications.

Gaia is written entirely in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Its only interface to the underlying operating system and hardware is through standard Web APIs, which are implemented by Gecko.

7.Applications

• Growing numbers of APPLICATIONS.

• Ease access through default firefoxOS MARKETPLACE.

• Existing development tools

• OS is totally OPEN-SOURCE under Mozilla Foundation's motivation.

• Works fine offline, too :-)

• Optimize apps (and web rendering!) for low-end devices

• Apps can be deployed freely

… I think the biggest mistake that we made, as a company , is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native…because it just wasn’t there.

- Mark Zuckerberg, 2012

… And it's not that HTML5 is bad. I'm actually, on longterm,really excited about it.

-Mark Zuckerberg, 2012

8.Conclusion

From this we conclude that Firefox OS phones are different.

They’re made by a huge global community and are the only smartphones that understand and deliver what you want and need.

It is easier to make an application in Firefox OS than any other OS.
