Build Apps That Don't Break
In the months ahead, Firefox OS handsets and devices will launch in a
variety of form factors in markets around the world. New handsets and new countries are being announced regularly.
For your apps to succeed in this complex device landscape, you'll need
to design responsively now so your apps don't break on new devices.
Responsive design
is a key best practice for mobile developers, app developers and
everyone designing and developing for today's global markets and
cross-device, multi-screen user environments.

How to Get Your App Featured
|

A note from the Firefox Marketplace Editor:
So, you've created an amazing Firefox OS app. It's listed on the Marketplace.
But how do you get people to take notice and download your app? Banner
ads don't work anymore. Skywriting is too expensive. And you only have a
dozen Twitter followers, half of which are probably bots.
Don't fret! If you've created a nice app, I'd love to see it. As
Marketplace Editor, I'm always on the lookout for quality apps to
feature. It can be any kind of app, made for a global audience or a
specific region. Just submit your app to editor@mozilla.com. It's that easy. Good luck!
