I'm not trying to be rude but do you know anything about FxOS and its goals and architecture?

1. Does the current admission by the US government of comprehensive NSA spying on the entire internet interest plain consumers? No, it doesn't. "Plain consumers" don't understand the implications nor the technology behind it. So to ask if a "plain consumer" would be interested in FxOS is to miss the point. The "plain consumer" does not have the knowledge to judge the issue and Mozilla is not trying to become a billion dollar corporation to rival Apple or Google.

2. The architecture of FxOS is completely different for a reason so IMO, no, it wouldn't make sense to fork Android.
