Just created my own based upon this information, very easy to do but what actually runs firefoxOS?

Hello! I work on the Firefox OS app store[1] . There are no officially supported Firefox OS devices yet- but you can experiment with the simulator[2]. Additionally, they will soon be able to run on any Android device with Firefox for Android installed. (certain apps work already in our Beta version[3])

Hope that info helps!

[2] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-si...

[3] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fi...

Currently is supported on a handful of Android devices, see here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gec...

Have you actually tried running on any of those devices?

I asked about them on a FirefoxOS post last week because I was trying to figure out which device to pick up and a Mozilla rep responded suggesting that I just try the emulator built for Firefox. She said that the builds that run on those devices are actually fairly out of date.

I'd love for somebody in the know or who actually has this up and running to provide some insight.
