- masklinn 14y ago> WebOS had a proprietary Javascript SDK or something lame. WebOS was straight webkit with additional APIs for telephony and hardware access, and a bundled framework to help with laying out. Said framework having been extracted for regular in-browser JS[0] > Firefox OS runs on pure HTML5 standards. Firefox OS runs straight Gecko with additional APIs for telephony and hardware access, without a framework to help getting started. It's the exact bloody fucking same thing.
