I think the only major advantage of Firefox OS is that it helps you run full HTML5 apps.
The apps are cached, auto-updated, and easy to code. They run on the phone and on the desktop alike. That's it. The only OS that really compares, is actually Chrome OS, except Chrome OS has not been ported or made to run on phone hardware.
If it's not fast enough, it will not work. If it is, it has a small chance of making a difference.
- robhawkes 14y agoLet's just hope that it's fast enough then! To be fair, I think there is much more too it than just HTML5 apps. Think beyond the single mobile phone device… it's more about how concepts will change if many different types of devices run apps and can communicate via the same languages (JavaScript, for example). The other advantage is that it's free, and open for others to take and turn into whatever they want it to be. That's kinda cool.
