open-source system unsuccessful to obtain traction in mobile devices and according
to a assertion from Mozilla developer George Roter.
“Via the work of many of supporters we made a brilliant push and
invented a splendid platform in Firefox Operating System,” he said in a blog
post.
Though as we proclaimed in December month, the condition of
multiple many conventional “OS” and app ecosystems aimed that we were
performing catch-up, and the situation were not there for Mozilla to acquire on
commercial smartphones.”

for smartphones after the Firefox operating system 2.6 deliver” which means
that “Firefox operating system for smartphones will no longer have staff participation
across May.”

to inaugurate two low prices devices powered by Firefox.
Firefox contrivances built by China’s ZTE and TCL were declared in
2014 at a price as low as USD 25.
Roter said Mozilla made the
conclusion as section of a push “to pivot from ‘Firefox
operating system’ to ‘linked devices’” and would be concentrating on developing
open-source software for the Internet of Things—a type which contains totality
from connected cars to lightbulbs.
Today, we have three projects that have departed the first gate containing
