As far as I understand it, Firefox OS is B2G/Boot2Gecko + Mozilla’s branding and services (and those of our partners, where applicable.) OEMs have to follow certain guidelines to have their phone branded as Firefox OS, so B2G is kind of a white label of sorts, as well as being the original engineering codename. Web developers largely don’t care about this distinction, but it matters more to platform developers (e.g. those from OEMs.) I’m using “Firefox OS” in most places on MDN, but there are a few places where I explain the distinctions mentioned above, and I wanted to make sure I got it right.
