Why does not Firefox OS simulator (1.1) start on Firefox 27 on OpenSuse 13.1?
I am using the default version of Firefox (27) on OpenSuse 13.1. I downloaded and installed Firefox os simulator plugin, version 1.1 searched with Google, but it does not start. If I open the App Manager and then I click "launch simulator", I will receive the error that no simulator is installed. But the menu item "Firefox OS Simulator" is in "Tools"->"Web development" menu... EDIT: in "tools"->"plugins" there is "Firefox OS simulator 4.0.1 by Myk Melez". But why??

Hello spode, i think for firefox 26 and above you need version 1.2 and above (1.1 can only be installed on Firefox 24 or Firefox 25.)
see : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Firefox_OS_1.1_Simulator

No, Firefox OS Simulator 1.2 is not launched...But now it is recognized by App Manager.
Do you see any errors if you open the Browser Console (Tools -> Web Developer -> Browser Console) after trying to start the simulator?
Are you on a 32 bit or 64 bit OS (from uname -a)? Is your installation of Firefox itself 32 bit or 64 bit (check output of "file /usr/lib/firefox/firefox" or a similar command based on where Firefox is installed)?
I am on a 32 bit Opensuse 13.1 and my installation of Firefox is the default one. So I would hope it is the 32 bit one.
This is the message that I obtain with App Manager: "22:17:55: Found simulator: Firefox OS 1.2 22:17:55: Starting simulator... 22:17:55: Simulator ready. Connecting. 22:17:55: connecting to localhost:42039 22:18:15: connection timeout. Possible causes: didn't click on 'accept' (prompt). 22:18:15: disconnecting 22:18:15: disconnected"
and this is the error within Console: "Il box XUL per l'elemento hbox contiene un elemento figlio inline #text, tutti gli elementi figlio verranno forzati in un blocco. line 3 about:app-manager" (it is italian)
