Firefox OS Simulator Preview for Windows.

Here are the direct links to the installation files (installs as an extension in Firefox) We have all the versions of the Firefox OS Simulator on our FTP server, under its working name r2d2b2g.

The simulator now also supports geolocation, so you can test it in your app, and read out longitude and latitude values.Д¬oming soon: an enhancement that lets you specify the geolocation to provide! Manifest validation ThereвЂ™s now a feature to rotate the simulator, get events and more, to adapt your contents to both portrait and landscape.

Because we want you to know whatвЂ™s going on and to be able to come along with us in the process We do things in the open, and we share our progress. We discussed whether we should talk about this new version yet, since itвЂ™s a bit rough around the edges, but we decided to give it a go for two reasons: Now, moving forward, weвЂ™d like to present and introduce you to a preview of the upcoming 3.0 version! WeвЂ™ve made a lot of progress since, and version 2.0 came out about a month ago ( latest official version). Three months ago we were proud to release the 1.0 version of the Firefox OS Simulator.
