How to Run Firefox OS Simulator

Firefox OS Simulator is an add-on for Firefox that lets you Run Firefox OS Simulator on your computer. It is made with parts from the original Firefox OS and works with most APIs. It acts like a device with Firefox OS and apps built in. So, you can use it to test your apps, try out new things, or just play around with the OS.

We released the Firefox OS Simulator three weeks ago. It’s a tool that lets web developers test their apps on Firefox OS from their Windows, Mac, or Linux computers. Today, we’ve heard from a number of people who used the Simulator to get a quick look at Firefox OS, which is fine.

Since that last blog post, the team has been working to fix bugs in the Simulator so that it can be used more. Especially Linux users will be glad to hear that the latest version will work on a lot more systems.
