Mozilla Corporation is yet to release Firefox OS in smart phones in 2013, Firefox OS is a new mobile operating system developed by Mozilla's Boot to Gecko (B2G) project. It uses a Linux kernel and boots into a Gecko-based run time engine, which lets users run applications developed entirely using HTML, JavaScript, and other open web application APIs. Firefox OS is currently under heavy development as of now.It provides an open Web to mobile devices.
Important Aspects of Firefox OS:
1) The Firefox Marketplace is Open Source, unlike Google's Android market which has free apps & also premium apps.
2) Install Apps from Any Domain: Mozilla doesn't hold users hostage when it comes to installing new apps; instead of needing to jump over to the device's app store app, Mozilla provides a JavaScript API for installing web apps from any allowed domains.
3) The Apps for this OS are created in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript .
TECHNICAL ASPECTS:
