    That got me wondering ..... I know, maybe ten years ago, there was a FireFox-based OS for mobile phones. If it is still under development,
    that might be a way of circumventing this move by Google.

    Is Firefox OS still under development??

    According to https://www.ghacks.net/2020/03/14/firefox-os-successor-mozilla-and-kaios-announce-partnership/
    it was abandoned in 2016. The article is two years old and implies that
    the code lives on as KaiOS.

    Thanks for that. I thought that might have been the case!

    How weird that the article is EXACTLY two years old!! ;-P

    KaiOS .... presumably developed by KaiRo, who was involved in the early
    FF/SM development.
