FirefoxOS has lower resource requirements than Android - for example this $25 device has only 128MB of RAM. FxOS (an it's app ecosystem) is still very young (1.3 just came out, and the first release came out at the end of 2012). I'm positive that we'll continue to see dramatic performance improvements as well as feature parity with the dominant platforms, along with the app ecosystem continuing to mature. On the app developer side, making apps requires no specialized development environments or knowing anything beyond web technologies (HTML/JS/CSS), which dramatically lowers the bar for making apps. I'm not sure what counts as "truly remarkable", personally I am pretty impressed by games like Cut the Rope on my FirefoxOS phone. I also carry and regularly use an outdated Android device that has very similar specs, and it's not particularly responsive. More apps are available, but the average quality is not very high.
