There is literally no way Firefox could have fixed the entire OEM landscape.
OEMs are not going to release the driver source code. They simply will not, at best they do random code dumps of whatever kernel version they were using at the time.
This is still true today and even Google tried to make it better with Project Treble. If Google cannot fix this even after all these years with total market dominance then literally Mozilla couldn’t do a single thing about it
- seba_dos1 1y agoNobody can "fix the entire OEM landscape". Mozilla could have nudged it in the right direction. They didn't try. Not even a step forwards. The entire value proposition from non-technical standpoint was "we're not Google". Others are trying with much less leverage or resources and actually progressing. Firefox OS was born, lived and died without making a dent.
