I would like to have a look at what the file system looks like and where

you can view it on there.
The B2G /emulator/ is similar to the Android emulator in that regard,
but the /Simulator/ (and B2G Desktop) is a desktop application that uses
your desktop filesystem to store and retrieve files. So the Gallery app
shows the images in the default images folder on your system (f.e.
~/Pictures on Mac), while the Music app shows the music in the default
music folder (f.e. ~/Music on Mac).
Thus the Simulator is not a good way to learn how the filesystem is
arranged on a device. But the Simulator does use the same kind of user
data directory (called a "Gaia profile", and similar to a Firefox
profile) as a device, so you can use it to learn how that directory is
arranged.
To do so, first locate your Firefox profile:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
Then navigate to the extensions/r2d2...@mozilla.org/profile
subdirectory. That's the Gaia profile for the Simulator, which will be
similar to the Gaia profile on a device.
