As Mozilla continues to develop Firefox OS, the company reveals at CES 2013 changes to the OS that can turn Web sites into apps
LAS VEGAS–As Firefox OS develops partially in the public eye, Mozilla shows off two interesting changes to how the operating system handles apps at the CES 2013.
The first change could have wide-reaching consequences for anybody who’s built a Web site and wants to get in on the mobile app revolution. Part of the Everything.me investment, Mozilla has come up with a way for people to turn their Web sites into mobile apps using manifest files. It could revolutionize app marketplaces, said Christian Heilmann, Mozilla’s lead developer on Firefox OS.
