Also, remote debugger is quite flaky, can't make //# sourceURL work in

very hard to debug. Would be cool to know when it will be improved (I searched
the web but found no answers).
I'm unfamiliar with these particular issues, but I bet the Developer
Tools engineers know about them (or would want to know!). You can reach
them in #devtools on irc.mozilla.org
<chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23devtools&server=irc.mozilla.org> or the

Another need, a just-released Simulator 4.0 is based on b2g18-1.1, if I am not
mistaken. When will the Simulator for 1.2 be out? I know I can use the v25 b2g
nightly, but every day it has its own issues, and it does not work on Windows.
On Ubuntu today for example, I can't unlock the lock screen. So to do steady
development for FF OS we actually need Nightly, Aurora and Beta streams for
Simulator/B2g.
Simulator 4 includes a B2G build from the b2g18 branch and a Gaia build
from the v1-train branch as of 2013-06-26. The nascent App Tools team in
the Developer Tools group is still in the process of determining its
goals, but they currently include shipping a version of the Simulator to
match each production branch of FxOS in Q4 of this year:

Sorry for the long list, but it is quite painful to develop FF Packaged Apps
compared to Chrome Packaged Apps at the moment. Do not get me wrong, we are
psyched about FF OS and we want to release apps on FF OS devices yesterday, so
any wasted time is just lost market opportunity for us.
We feel your pain! And a number of us are working hard to make
developing and debugging apps as easy as possible as soon as possible.
For which we welcome your feedback (whether positive or critical)!
