The Firefox front-end is interesting: does that mean HTML5 and is there anything in common with the cloud effort? Also, can Firefox be an engine to bring HTML5 apps to Android, and share such apps between Android, FirefoxOS and possibly Ubuntu Phone?

I believe they used the "tiled rendering" code from Firefox for Android, not its HTML5 engine.

Firefox for Android can access the Firefox Market. Apps installed this way appear in the android launcher the same as native apps.

Those apps also run on Windows, OSX and desktop Linux.
