+Prerequisties
 ==============
 
-A lot of good documentation is available on the [Mozilla Developer Network](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS)
+There are no prerequisites for adding Firefox OS as a Cordova platform. For usage, setting up debugging environment and running on the device, see the [Cordova support for Firefox OS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps/Tools_and_frameworks/Cordova_support_for_Firefox_OS) page on Mozilla Developer Network.
 
-A simulator (runs as a Firefox plugin) is availble [here](http://people.mozilla.org/~myk/r2d2b2g/)
+For platform development information, check out the [Firefox OS cordova development page](http://mozilla-cordova.github.io)
 
-The following software is required to package and deploy an app directly to a Firefox OS device:
--[Android SDK](http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
--on Mac you will need to install XCode & Command Line Tools for XCode
--Firefox OS device with OS Version 1.0.0.0 prerelease

-4. Clone the cordova-firefoxos repository
-
-If Deploying to device:
-
-5. Modify the XPCSHELL constant in the Makefile to point to the location of xpcshell on your computer
-6. Modify the ADB constant in the Makefile to point to the location of adb on your computer
-7. Make sure the Firefox OS device has remote debugging enabled. To enable remote debugging navigate to the following settings on the device: Settings->Device Information->More Information->Developer->Remote Debugging.
