Another news site gives an even more strong title:
"Firefox OS smartphones are dead"
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/12/firefox-os-smartphones-are-dead/
With an assertion that claims "Mozilla is ending its plan to build an
OS for smartphones". Although its content is actually from the same
source.

I do understand, but I think the PC market would be a good
proposition, there is no Linux distro got it right, sometimes you
have a bad UI, sometimes a bad UX. You can start by using some of
them as a base but focusing on the UI, like you are doing with the
phone. Microsoft once mention that the XP migration was a 12B
dollar market. It make sense a well organized institution like
Mozilla backing a project like this, I think. It also make much
easy to people try to use, you get a USB install and use, what
will may attract more developers. Good luck.

I think when we talk about connected devices we don't want to
spread thin across a large area.
We should possibly focus on areas where we can make quick
gains and have the most impact. We can then extend our reach
based on those gains into other areas.
There are also some further work that teams are doing to
implement the "beyond browser" ideas but I don't think we are
yet ready to do a whole OS for a PC. Perhaps long term this
may be something to investigate.

Hi,
I like connected devices idea. No plans for desktops/laptops?
It will be very nice to have a open contender against Chrome
OS that will be able to install in any device and replace all
the old Windows XP :)
