I am by no means a developer, I am just a guy who compiled FireFox OS from Mozillia's GitHub Page
This is not a daily driver & meant for advance users.

Firefox OS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What Works:
- Data
- Phone Calls
- Contact Import
- GPS (kinda)


Does NOT Work:
- Wi-Fi
- Camera
- SMS/MMS
- A lot of other thins

THIS MAY/WILL WIPE AL DATA DO BACKUP FIRST (Although for me I kept my TWRP)
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
DO NO FLASH THIS VIA RECOVERY (You will have to flash via fastboot, Instructions are in the tarball)
Download link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwmJXUd27fK3VXByNHR2NndPd2M/edit?usp=sharing (Fixed lack of boot.img)

Attention all 16GB users, you may need to apply this fix when coming back to Android or you may not have your full 16GB of storage

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As things advance I will post more up to date builds, and hopefully make this a easy flash .ZIP file

Color me impressed! I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger effort on this front from more people. I mean, sure, Firefox OS is primarily targeted at lower end phones, but that doesn't mean developers don't want to try and use the hardware they already have!

Your telling me. Nexus 4 has been able to compile via Mozilla's configuration for like a few days now
