Mozilla Intros 'Boilerplate' To Help Developers Make Firefox OS Apps

Mozilla is running its Firefox operating system for smartphones on top gears as developer Robert Nyman has announced a tool which will help developers to start creating applications for the Firefox OS or even porting an existing web application to it. Dubbed as Firefox OS Boilerplate App, the tool will bring in several basic features which almost all applications have in common. “The idea is to avoid any dependency on external libraries or resources, but rather be self-contained,” wrote Nyman in a blog post.

“As the name implies, Firefox OS Boilerplate App will provide you with the most basic features to get started with building an app from scratch, or tools to port your existing web app. The easiest way to get started, installing it and testing the various features, is to navigate to the Firefox OS Boilerplate App in the web browser on a Firefox OS device or in the Firefox OS Simulator,” added Nyman.

Meanwhile, ZTE has now announced that it would launch a smartphone based on Mozilla's Firefox operating system at the Mobile World Congress 2013 on 25 February. ZTE's Firefox smartphone would be similar to the ZTE V788D. The smartphone is expected to sport a 8.8-cm (3.5-inch) display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. On the hardware front, ZTE will include a Qualcomm chipset clocked at 1.5GHz and will include a 5-megapixel camera.
