Thank you for your question. Firefox is basically a browser.And Firefox OS is an Operating System.You can install Firefox in your SGS3 just like an android application.But if you want Firefox operating system on it. then you have to flash the ported Firefox OS on your device. Then it will be a completely different standalone operating system.you cannot install android applications on it. To read more technical difference read: Firefox OS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS Firefox Browser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox

Hope this clears your query.Thank you
