WHAT IS FIREFOX OSFirefox OS is a new mobile operating system developed by Mozilla's Boot to Gecko (B2G) project.https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS

•Firefox OS follows the same principles: Its aim is to replace feature phones in emerging markets with HTML5 based phones that match the functionality of non-affordable or even locally available smartphones•The phones are based on the proven Firefox engine (Gecko), fully open and standard-proposed APIs and a Linux core (Gonk) that also powers Android•Parts of the beetle were interchangeable between its versions. That ensured that spare parts are easy to come by. Firefox OS is powered by and runs HTML5 applications. You can easily turn a current mobile-optimised web site into an app and get much better hardware access support with a few lines of JavaScript and a manifest file•The idea is to give HTML5 the hardware platform it deserves, not to be allowed to run on platforms that treat it as a thing that runs in browsers and is blocked from accessing the interesting parts of the device
