IMO, we're the reason it failed. We as a consumer didn't buy FirefoxOS phone over Android, iOS. We haven't adopted Firefox browser enough for it to become have the major market share. The same argument can levelled against any proprietary product VS open-source product.
That proves my point, being 'completely community driven' open-source project isn't the only criteria for the success of a project.
