It's a real shame, but I don't think Mozilla is going to be able to make this work - they just don't have the leverage with hardware that the big three - MS, Apple, Google - have. While the technical avenue they're going down is interesting and has merit, I don't think that'll resonate with people in the market for a phone. They have a lot of work to do - starting from cold - just to get something that kinda sorta works as well as what's already out there - I just don't think they'll get enough people to switch. Worse if you look at their flagship product - desktop is a metoo! that's haemorraging users and the mobile version is a non-entity. I use and love both, it's a desperate shame - I just cannot for the life of me see Mozilla making headway with this OS.
