Most of the 'Tech' lovers are waiting for firefox mobile operating system and ubuntu mobile operating system. Now, its the turn of firefox os. Let's have a brief overview about this smartphone operating system.
Firefox OS (also referred to by its codename "Boot to Gecko" or "B2G") is Mozilla's open source mobile operating system based on Linux and Mozilla's Gecko technology. Firefox OS is a mobile operating system that's free from proprietary technology while still a powerful platform that provides application developers an opportunity to create excellent products. In addition, it's flexible and capable enough to make the end user happy.
For Web developers, the most important part to understand is that the entire user interface is a Web app, one that is capable of displaying and launching other Web apps. Any modifications you make to the user interface and any applications you create to run on Firefox OS are Web pages, albeit with enhanced access to the mobile device's hardware and services.
Hardware Requirements:
For using this operating system Mozilla organization suggested few hardware requirements.
Most recent ARM-based mobile devices are powerful enough to support porting Firefox OS. This section covers the basic hardware requirements as well as the recommended hardware features.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | ARMv6 | Cortex A5 class or better ARMv7a with NEON |
| GPU | — | Adreno 200 class or better |
| Connectivity | — | WiFi 3G |
| Sensors | — | Accelerometer Proximity Ambient light A-GPS |
For a good user experience, it's a good idea to choose a device that offers a uniform color profile (implemented by the graphics device driver) and headphone support for muting and unmuting and for stopping and playing media. These features are common among modern smartphones.
A very good point with these requirements is, these are the hardware specifications of a low end smartphone. So, with these specifications we can think that this runs on all smartphones with a greater speed and feasibility as said above this is completely web based, javascript rendering, 'OS' itself gives a rich internet page look.
