It is very odd how vague their product description page is. Naming a product Firefox Reality seems like good marketing: what could be a better brand than all of Reality? However in reality, their site doesn’t say exactly what parent says: Firefox Reality is a browser built for (standalone) XR devices.

I'm assuming that's a typo and you meant VR, given that I've never heard of XR, and thus wouldn't really be an improvement in terms of vagueness...
No, XR is a thing now. It's a general name for VR, AR and MR (mixed reality).

Surely the oddity is solved by postulating that it is a marketing strategy to build interest?
