While there are many OS around there,
every year a new OS is developed and released into the market. Mozilla OS is
one such new arrival. Mozilla OS has been used in many phones now and their
apps are developed using HTML 5 and CSS.

the code. Save the manifest file as manifest.webapp in Myapp folder. To use
this app go to Firefox dashboard and select add directory menu. Then a explorer
window will pop up, select he manifest file for the app. Now the dashboard will
show our app and the error messages.
