I was unaware you could run Firefox OS on a Lumia 520. Do you have a link that describes how to do that? Or is there a vendor selling Lumia 520's with Firefox O

I was unaware you could run Firefox OS on a Lumia 520. Do you have a link that describes how to do that? Or is there a vendor selling Lumia 520's with Firefox OS? I also have not seen Moto G's running Firefox OS. EDIT: Possibly I should add some context to my question. I'm not sure why the comment is comparing a phone running a different operating system and different software. So I thought maybe these other phones could run Firefox OS and I just didn't know. I've been using Firefox OS for about a year and would not want to use a phone on a different OS. The article was about a new version of a Firefox OS phone.

It is called a browser. Usually comes integrated in all mobile operating systems, alongside the native apps.

  That's strange. Could you explain how this works in a browser right now outside of Firefox OS. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Simple_Push https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Simple_Push At the bottom it lists the support and I see all browsers with "Not Supported" and then this line "This API is currently available on Firefox OS only for any installed applications."

    It is sad state of affairs. Mozilla used to be about open standards.

      I'm not sure if that answered my question. Are you saying I can do that in a browser as you said? Or do I need Firefox OS for that?

        Bleeding edge requires a bleeding edge browser. If you want cross-device compatibility, use a mature API like Cordova.

        Are you actually comparing a simple web hosted manifest file to compiling an application as a similar process?
