summary
Key claim: shipping HTML5 as an OS and platform unlocks new users and real apps for low-cost markets. Firefox OS ships an app store that indexes mobile websites so users can try then install apps, exposes hardware via standardized APIs and web activities enable native app integration, and runs converted C++ via ASM.js runs Unreal Engine in the browser so high‑fidelity games and PDF renderers work without plugins. Advice: build context‑aware, offline‑friendly sites, prefer CSS animations and feature queries like addSupport, and focus on flexibility not copying native UI.
