[on_and_off]

I don't know about its potential but what was there was not a serious challenger to the existing platforms.

I was working for a very large app (tens of millions of daily users) at the time when firefox was trying to convince companies to port their apps to it.

We were big enough that Firefox sent their advocates to our offices and tried to convince us to port our app. Since what we were offering was a service, we were naturally open to have it on as many platforms as possible. I think that there might have been a monetary incentive as well but I might be misremembering there (I was not part of that negotiation).

After a week with their sdk and help from their devs, we threw the towel.

Publishing our product on Fos would have been impossible while keeping the app quality on par with iOS and Android and there were lots of missing/buggy APIs.

That was our last discussion with Firefox. For as long as there have been phones, there have been web apps targeting them, but there is a reason why we are still building native apps.
