Abstract
As the market share of smartphone exponentially increases in mobile market, a number of manufacturers have developed their own operating system. Firefox OS is an open source operating system for the smartphone and tablet which is being developed by the Mozilla Foundation. This OS is designed using JavaScript and operated based on HTML5. Even though the number of manufacturers which release the Firefox OS smartphone is consistently increasing, However it is difficult to analyze artifacts in a smartphone in terms of investigation since existing researches on Firefox OS focused on imaging velocity according to abstract forensic process and block size. In this paper, we propose how to collect data in Firefox OS while minimizing data loss and forensic analysis framework based on analysis results on system and user data leaving in a smartphone.
