Is it easy to port firefox OS apps to ubuntu touch?

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 846 / 2 Years ago, fri, may 6, 2022, 8:02:15

I'm curious if Firefox OS apps will be possible to use in Ubuntu touch? Will Ubuntu touch have a firefox browser anytime soon? (Seems like the default is webkit at the moment.) Does web apps as first class citizen imply that a web app based OS will be easy to port to ubuntu touch? It's apparently really easy to install these apps in OSX, which is why I'm asking.

FirefoxOS apps per se will not work on Ubuntu as the APIs are different. However, as wilf so kindly pointed out above, IF the app is CSS or Javascript it might work.

Will Ubuntu Touch have a Firefox browser anytime soon?

That's up to Firefox: Send them a tweet at @MozPDX and ask.
