Hi Priyojit,

I understand that you would like to install games developed in Java to your Firefox OS device.

Unfortunately, Java is not compatible with Firefox OS. The Firefox OS environment runs entirely on Web-native technologies (HTML5, CSS, Javascript).

Please note that Java is different than Javascript, and the application would have to be rewritten using HTML5 technologies.

I hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.

Thanks,

- Ralph

Hi Priyojit,

This is also not possible, since Android is an entirely different operating system.

Firefox OS can run applications from the Firefox Marketplace, as well as any webapps or websites that are compatible with the open web.
