Simulate Apple Firefox in Windows - windows

Is there any way, to simulate a Firefox, running on a Mac in Windows?
I have a problem with a website, it only appears in Firefox which is installed on an Apple PC.
In Firefox, installed under Windows it works fine.
Is there any way, to do this?
I would prefer freeware....

You can install OSX on Virtual Box or VMWare they both have support for OSX up to 10.7.x

Try an online browser testing service, which will allow you to preview a site by either a screenshot of your URL in a browser, or give you remote access to a VM of the OS and browser you need.
Some options;
BrowserCam
Adobe BrowserLab

Download Safari 8 for Windows

I'm trying to find Safari 8 for Windows as I am programming a website and I want to see if it all works properly in the Safari browser.
I got Windows 8 and the Application Server and the database both run locally on my PC right now.
Is there a way to test the website on Safari 8 without having a Mac or iPhone?
Thanks!
Latest version of Safari for Windows was 5.1.7, then they discontinued the Windows version.
But if you want to test how your website renders under Safari, you can use online emulators like Browserstack.

mediaelement.js in Safari in Windows XP SP3

I'm testing mediaelement.js with various OS (Win XP and 7 so far) and browser combinations (Chrome, FF, IE8, Opera) before using it on my own website. Those combinations seem great but after hours of effort I can't get Safari to work well enough under Windows XP SP3 to do a true test of whether mediaelement.js works in Safari under Windows XP (Safari normally doesn't respond when visiting web pages with or without mediaelement).
Forum posters say that one shouldn't bother to try to make Safari and XP work together but my users worldwide use many combinations of OS and browser so I need to know whether to warn them off from trying to use my mediaelement-based pages with Safari and XP.
Can someone please confirm or deny that Safari on a Windows XP PC can play the video on http://mediaelementjs.com ? I would be most grateful.
I also tried this running an XP VM with all the latest updates. It worked with Safari 5.1.5 and I also upgraded it to 5.1.7 and both played the video without a hitch.
I found an old Win XP PC in the attic, installed Safari 5.1.7 and it handled the video on http://mediaelementjs.com fine.
I've been having this issue too. It's only on Safari on Windows. So far, I've had issues with Safari telling me that certain MediaElement functions don't exist:
TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'this.pluginApi.loadMedia()')
It's obviously an issue with the Flash fallback and it occurs after calling .load(). It seems like a bug in MediaElementJS because that is an internal function.
I started setting the source like this:
var player = $('#wp_mep_1')[0].player.media;
player.src = 'video_url.mp4';
and then for Safari, or the Flash fallback, I had to manually change the flashvars after clicking to get the video to update:
$j('#me_flash_0').attr('flashvars','id=me_flash_0&isvideo=true&autoplay=false&
preload=none&width=480&startvolume=0.8&timerrate=250&flashstreamer=&height=270&
file='+video_urls[slider_position]+'.mp4');

Why I can't get tabs list to debug page from FirefoxOS browser on desktop?

I have ZTE Open with Firefox OS.
I have macosx laptop. (And also parallels with windows vista, 7, 8 etc. if it may help…)
I enable remote debuging and console in phone settings and remote debuging in Firefox Nightly on desktop.
Download adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917 from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and run:
./adb devices
List of devices attached
roamer2 device
So device is connected
Then I run
./adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket
Because this article https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging
Then I open Firefox and
Tools -> Web Developer -> Connect…
And nothing… Just timeout. Then I try
./adb forward tcp:6000 tcp:6000
Get this on my ZTE Open:
Click "Ok" and get this on my desktop:
No tabs!
What I am doing wrong?!
Help me please.
Remote debugging requires Firefox OS 1.2 or greater, which I do not think has been released for the ZTE Open.
More information regarding remote debugging with App Manager (simulator):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager#Firefox_1.2.2B_required
And here's some info on the ZTE Open:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN
The instructions from #christi3k work for remote debugging an app within Firefox OS on my ZTE Open C.
When I want to debug a classic webpage, it's not working at all within Firefox OS context.
It will only work in an Android context according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1009518 but maybe I miss something.

Firefox emulator

I don't know if this is the correct site, but do you know if there is a good emulator for mobile firefox out there? I want to make some tests on mobile firefox and I don't have a smartphone available :S
Mozilla provides windows, linux and mac os versions of Firefox mobile: https://www.mozilla.com/en/mobile/download/
You can use Firefox OS Simulator, too. It's a browser add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/
Take note: When you install this add-on and encountered a pop-up related to the add-on, just press "Continue" and NOT.. I repeat NOT "Stop Script" :)
