Mozilla today announced the Firefox OS App Manager, a new developer tool that will ship with Firefox 26. It is designed to help developers build and debug Firefox OS apps, either in the Simulator or on a connected device.

Firefox OS App Manager also help developers fully debug and deploy their web apps to Firefox OS. It is based on the Firefox OS Simulator add-on, and bridges the gap between existing Firefox Developer tools and the Firefox OS Simulator.

Mozilla launched Firefox 24 on September 17. Firefox 25 is expected to arrive by the end of this month (October) and Firefox 26 will be ready to ship in December. Mozilla thus has less than two months to get this feature ready for release.

Here is what the company has so far:
