I've still got a firefox OS phone in a drawer somewhere. I was disappointed it got discontinued like so many other mozilla projects.

I was as well. It was very early, but not necessarily too early.

I think part of the problem is that they decided to have the flagship devices be low-end hardware, rather than high-end hardware. They were trying to ensure that development took low-end hardware into account, but they failed to consider that by the time the platform grew, high-end would become mid-range.

It's hard for me to know for sure, but to me it felt like the fact that none of the firefoxOS phones were targetted as devices developers would themselves want to use as their main phone was a big misstep in strategy.
