As you might have heard, Mozilla \u2013 makers of the Firefox web browser \u2013 have recently created their own smartphone platform, called Firefox OS.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also created an easy way for developers to try out the platform and run apps for it on your desktop PC. If you have the Firefox web browser installed on your PC, here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

First off, start Firefox on your PC, then click on \u201cadd-ons\u201d under the tools menu.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next, search for \u201cFirefox OS\u201d \u2013 the first option should say \u201cFirefox OS Simulator 4.0\u201d. Click on the install button.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once it has loaded and installed, there\u2019s a new option in the tools menu, under web developer called \u201cFirefox OS Simulator\u201d. Click on this option.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, on the page that comes up, look for a button that says \u201cSimulator stopped\u201d. Click on the word stopped and \u2013 within a few moments \u2013 a smartphone simulator will appear running Firefox OS.<\/p>\n
