My friends would tell me, sure, they use Firefox OS on devices in the same way a Mac user would use their iPad, but I scoffed at that. They thought I was brave — or crazy — for using Firefox OS on my daily smartphone. Surely, I believed, Firefox OS can work as a daily-use mobile operating system, and I wanted to show everyone that.
