I'd rather they'd push Firefox on Android more. Firefox OS seems stillborn, but Firefox/Android is a good product and mobile could need more browser competition.
I feel like one thing they could do to promote Firefox OS would be to make it possible to run Firefox OS applications on Android; create an installer/app store that would allow you to install them as if they were native apps, but they would be using a shared runtime.
That would really help to make it worthwhile to develop FxOS apps; actually having a large installed base of phones that they could be used on, in order to help bootstrap the ecosystem up.

Good news! That already exists in Firefox for Android, it's called Firefox Marketplace, it works by packaging up the apps as apks, which means they can operate as native android apps with access to native device APIs.
as someone else noted you can already run firefox os apps on android. you can go to the marketplace inside firefox and install apps. It seems like a lot of them are non-english which gives me hope that this is taking off at least a little outside the usa (but of course only being fluent in English I can't really tell if these non-english apps are any good or not.)
