I really want Firefox OS to be a success. After working in AOSP firmware for last 5 years and dealing with vendor walled gardens, I wish there was a truly usable open source phone.
- seba_dos1 11y agoFirefox OS isn't any better than Android when it comes to vendor walled gardens. Mozilla doesn't enforce in any way any openness of the platform - it just provides the open OS. It might be more complete experience than what AOSP alone delivers, but it's still up to vendor to provide, or not, any freedom when it comes to usage of the device. Heck, your platform doesn't even need to be open to be able to market it with Firefox OS brand! They have a set of rules you have to fulfill, but basic stuff like unlocked bootloader isn't even part of them.
