it is still “the work-in-progress port”, but more info for Firefox OS (Boot 2 Gecko) u can find there:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/b2g/

Disclaimer: I’ve downloaded the tar.gz file but haven’t got my raspberrypi handy so haven’t tried any of this yet :-)

Install raspbian (or any other distro that you like).
Download the tar.gz file
extract it (tar -xzf )
cd b2g
./b2g

Just guessing here :-)

The browser only got that way after years of parallel development by a bajillion different people; back in the old days, when you only ran a couple of extensions and when the software was still quite young, it was very different. I miss the old days.

there is no bug free software, some mobile companies/telecoms want to sell phones with Firefox OS in 2013 so if they decided to do it i assumed that they got more info about this OS and it is quite good (more or less buggy like other mobile OSes) to sell phones with it

RPi is new product, it is nice that more people wants to port their software on it, all software will have bugs, and first RPi users are somekind bug hunters, i hope that in the future more of us could fix those bugs ourselves – Philip from earlier post could be one of them

I’ve been using Firefox on Linux (ubuntu/fedora) and on android a lot lately and in my experience it crashes less then either chrome or (on android) the default android browser.

The only thing that will let it crash on my machines is the firebug addon in combination with some specific javascript frameworks like fermata.

I actualy prefer it nowadays on both my main PC’s (linux) and phone.

Same on the old debian image

for testers, from info on liliputing:
“If you want to take Firefox OS for a spin on a Raspberry Pi, you can download the latest build with “rasp_pi” in the name from Romashin’s website. Just note that this build is based on Debian Squeezy Linux without an X11 Window system.”

try to use Debian Squeezy or Puppy (based on Squeezy)
i myself waiting for my RPi, currently using quemu (maybe will try to install this port on my virtual machine) so can’t help now, but i’ve sent email to Oleg, maybe he (i hope) post some info here

or at least we will find some info via google when more people will try to check this port on RPi

I’m getting the same error :(

See Howto here: http://eva-quirinius.blogspot.nl/2012/08/installing-firefoxos-on-raspi.html

no Flash i’m afraid (it is Adobe stuff, iOS doesen’t have and Android will be abandoned soon), i’m not the developer but FirefoxOS is not the browser (it have some similarity with ChromeOS i think) it only uses Gecko layout engine (the heart of Firefox browser and forks) to show everything on the screen (GUI) using open Internet standards like: HTML5, Javascript and CSS – developers are doing nice apps and games with those three technologies, u can try some there:

Yeah! Brings back memories :D

FWIW: / PS:

“ldd b2g” on the older asb image leads to useful output, whereas on the Raspbian I get

pi@raspberrypi ~/kul/b2g $ ldd b2g
not a dynamic executable
pi@raspberrypi ~/kul/b2g $

… so … is that a proof of my earlier hypothesis?

PS2:

On asb’s Wheezy image, I can sort-of start b2g: it gives a light blue window, only partly visible (a large part is off screen, ignoring my overscan settings), and the visible part says “Try Again”. So probably some error message. Image is here: http://s7.postimage.org/6wjr3z8qj/IMG_20120817_093008.jpg

b2g does not react to my mouse.

Furthermore: you cannot use b2g via a “ssh -X” session; b2g’s output will always appear on the physical screen.

OK, I have a lift off! See http://s9.postimage.org/z2pdbyfkf/IMG_20120817_095009.jpg

Still off screen, but that must be caused by my old CRT.

The trick was the also download, unpack and use the ‘profile’ provided by Oleg.

can you make .iso image .?

While a lot of work remains to be done, I’m confident that we can provide some SD card images rather soon. For now, I have posted some pictures at https://www.philipp-wagner.com/blog/2012/08/firefox-os-boot2gecko-for-raspberry-pi/ (stay tuned for updates on the images)
