If you don't know about Firefox OS you can read about here or here.

You can find an older version here.

Since it was almost one year old I decided to build this from source, it's the latest stable version (1.3).

I had to disable gralloc because I was getting black screen after boot, so webgl is not working and the gui is sluggish.
Everything else seem to work, but is not intended as daily usable.

DATA
SYSTEM

Flashable via CWM, to install
  1. Format system
  2. Flash data
  3. Flash system
  4. Reboot

Yes, there's still a lot of work to do, I just compiled B2G from source just for testing applications.

It isn't my job but if you tell me what is not working I can try to fix it.

the main bug is the sim card that isn't recognised and so data doesn't work,than there's the camera. For the other bugs i don't know,i use it for a very few minutes.

If using the canorical installer it uses your current kernel. But overwrites the recovery boot img. So you cant flash other Android roms. Tot remove it simply flash a customrecovery through adb

For the "SIM bug" you mean that you don't have data, since you said that you can make calls and send/receve SMS?

Sim bug. Sim manager can not recognize sim card. Thus can not set to data enable. But actualy the sim card is in function since can make outgoing call, receiving incoming call, sending sms and received sms. Yesss dont have data. I think if we can esit build.prop probably data will be in function. Unfortunately I'm 500 km away from my PC. I will check and test on 13th and will report

Hi,

you have two ways:

fastboot flash <zipfilename>

or

uncompress the zip, change to that directory and go with:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

for further information, go to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2225405

I could be wrong here but isn't it

there is one way to know it, but i doubt so.
where you indicate the partition to flash is where you've put the word zip, so, by using logic, there should be no zip partition on your phone
Indeed, If you have some spare free time, please feel free to try it and give us some feedback ;)
