Yes, I think so too. There was a big gap left open when WebOS was mercilessly killed off by HP, and I really wanted to see WebOS succeed. Firefox OS is great so far, it has its quirks but its still very early days. There is no question in my mind that it will be a serious contender. There are so many devs out there who just want to code for one platform (web) and cant be bothered to go native (ask anyone using phonegap or sencha)...so a giant influx of good apps is not far off. And best of all, its built to open standards with no walled garden.

Actually not one went native after trying out phonegap. It would be interesting if you could elaborate more about the reasons for "giant influx of good apps". Not coding for one platform cannot be a reasonf for that, even the opposite. Cross-platform apps are usually aliens on all supported platforms. Open standards and no walled garden do not imply the quality in any way. For infrascturcure things, sure. For apps… I cannot come up with one example where open source (desktop) app is better than commercial alternative.
