FWIW from what I've read on Reddit, I have the feeling that it's
generally not because of device-specific base image people cannot
update, but because they have locked bootloader (Orange Kliff, Fx0
etc..), preventing every custom build to even run on their platform.
We need bootloader unlock tools for these phones. Does Mozilla have the
power to do something about it?

If I'm honest, speaking as an unofficial foxfooder (and lover of FFOS since
1.0) the biggest problem I've experienced personally is update availability.
We've watched Firefox OS continually mature and as far as I've seen people are
very excited to get their hands on a new version. I think that says a lot.
I'm an active user of the Firefox OS Reddit and I've seen many, many people
asking about how they can update their device and usually (depending on their
know-how) the answer is: They can't.
Even for the Flame updates have not been clearly released. I understand why by
the way, I just really believe this is the biggest thing that Firefox OS has to
fix right now. I believe there was a b2g updater add-on that somewhat solved
this but I've not heard about it since I saw it months ago.
Hopefully this feedback is useful, if not thanks for your time and keep up the
good work.
Thanks :)
I agree with what you said. I think the core problem is that there's no
single Android platform that we can program for. Each device is it's own
environment that requires at least some separate testing and
maintenance. So any update is currently specific to a device. Improving
this situation is an important goal and we're exploring ideas for making
Firefox OS more modular, more portable, and easier to update on all levels.
For some devices there's also a legal side, but I don't know much about
that.
Best regards
Thomas
