If only Firefox OS had taken off...
interesting suggestion, why firefox OS?
you are mistaken, firefox os does not need "the same hardware" as android, it needs less, a lot less.
FirefoxOS might make the mobile web better. It will give web developers more access to the device's hardware, unlike a website running stock Android browser. Everybody has been saying it for years, native apps can do more than web apps in iOS and Android. I wish that FirefoxOS changed that, similarly to how Chrome pushed HTML5 on the desktop.
Starting Firefox OS and expecting it to be viable in less than a year?
Sounds like Firefox OS. Yes, Google should do that.
Is this another Firefox OS moment?
There is a web-based mobile phone: Firefox OS.
Firefox OS = Chrome OS for phonesie a way to encourage webapps rather then attempt to capture os marketshare.
Firefox OS is actually still around in the form of KaiOS for budget phones.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KaiOS
