Mozilla's mobile phone operating system only exists in an early beta form, but Oleg Romashin, a researcher at Nokia, has already got it working on the Raspberry Pi (http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/nokia-firefox-os-raspberry-pi-89438) and posted video to prove it. We don't think this indicates any alternate strategy for Nokia if Windows Phone doesn't pan out, but it does show that Firefox OS is portable, and the Pi is capable, and both can be played with — which will please both Mozilla and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. And the Firefox OS work in progress is available for download (http://romaxa.info/b2g/b2g-17.0a1.en-US.linux-gnueabi-arm_rasp_pi_linuxgl.tar.gz) (direct tarball link)."
