Supposedly FirefoxOS has a number things going for it:
[...]
- there are 6 million webdevelopers and 'only' a couple of 100000 app developers for Android and iOS combined, many are even HTML5-apps with a native wrapper

So you're saying that it's an advantage for FirefoxOS to only run web apps, vs. an Android phone being able to run either web apps or Android apps?

Their slogan of their developer education/evangelism/promos videos is:

"Firefox OS: the platform HTML5 deserves"
