This is mistaken. Firefox OS wasn't dropped, it was pivoted from phones to connected devices: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/12/09/firefox-os-pivot-to...

I've also seen rumors that Mozilla is working on a successor to Persona, but absolutely no substantive evidence as of yet.

No. The team was repurposed, not really Firefox OS though. Have got some insider knowledge on this one.

I mean come on. Firefox OS on embedded devices, the thing could barely run on cheap smartphones.

Having used the one of their special SPARC dev phones, the OS is actually very very good. Like every device it had limits but it just cruised along like a champion for 90% of tasks and had freakishly good call quality.

"The team was repurposed". That's one of the better euphemisms I've seen in a while. Could be worse; they could have been recycled.
