Quotes:

We will end development on Firefox OS for smartphones after the version 2.6 release.

Therefore we are announcing our plan to end-of-life support for smartphones after the Firefox OS 2.6 release. This means that Firefox OS for smartphones will no longer have staff involvement beyond May.

Of course, Boot to Gecko (b2g) always has been and will continue to be an open source operating system open to contribution.

Is the Firefox OS user base big enough to support ongoing development without Mozilla staff involvement? Or is it useless now, to build Firefox OS for the Fairphone 2?
