Orangutan will dispatch hardware events but at a particular coordinate,
so you'll need to update your orangutan script with new coordinates if
the UI changes.
Marionette is a more robust automation tool, allowing you to find
particular DOM elements and dispatching events against them. So, for
instance, you can find a particular DOM element on the screen and tap
it, without having to know its coordinates. Since you're testing Gaia
applications, I recommend using the 'gaiatest' framework (which uses
Marionette as the driver for actions):
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/tree/master/tests/python/gaia-ui-tests/gaiatest.
The gaiatest framework adds Gaia specific functionality and helper
methods to Marionette, such as the ability to launch an application.
Here's an example browser test written using the gaiatest framework:
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/tests/python/gaia-ui-tests/gaiatest/tests/functional/browser/test_browser_navigation.py
You can look around
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/tests/python/gaia-ui-tests/gaiatest/tests/
to see the full repository of tests using gaiatest.
FYI, the use case of Orangutan is when you need to dispatch *hardware*
level events. Marionette does not send hardware level events, it instead
bypasses this and sends touch events (DOM level events). Chances are,
you don't really need to dispatch hardware level events, so Marionette
should be fine. You only need to dispatch hardware level events if
you're testing the hardware to DOM event dispatching, or for performance
measuring.

Hi Sami,
Orangutan can help you to launch Firefox at the requested coordinates
by using the "TAP" syntax. To do so, you'll have to run a script that
has this TAP command with the required coordinates on the phone after
pushing the orangutan binary to it.
An alternative may possibly be to use Marionette instead, but Malini
(cc'ed) may be a better person to help you out here.

Hi Sami,
There's a tool, orangutan can help you on the "/using the 'input
keyevent' functionality/" question. You can find the tool and its
README in below:
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/orangutan
For the second question, we cannot use "am" command in FxOS. But I
know we have some automation tools to do thing like what you want.
Maybe Gary can provide you some information here.

*Subject: *[b2g] Automated Script for Launch Application in Firefox
Hi
I need to develop the Automated test script to run the Firefox
Applications continuously.
Like {Make Call -> Launch Camera -> Open Gallery -> Stop Voice Call}.
In Android, I could do using the 'input keyevent' functionality.
I am expecting similar kind feature available in the Firefox.
Also How to run the Firefox Application from ADB command prompt?.
In Android 'am' to launch the Application.
Thanks.
Sami.
