Firefox OS does not parse Mpeg2TS now, it is restricted by mime type. If HLS is only for b2g use, stagefright is easier and stable. The code is actually used for youtube live playback in android. The bug for HLS is present as Bug 577084. It says that Firefox do not implement HLS because MPEG-DASH is more promising. But MPEG-DASH(Bug 702122) is disabled because MediaSource (MSE) is more promising. IIRC, some patent's related mpeg2ts are still effective.
I reminded this at google's "new nexus7 and android 4.3" announcement. It was on Youtube Live and Firefox OS device could not watch the video on my b2g device. IIRC, google io is also uses Youtube Live as live streaming. If B2G do not suport Youtube Live, user can not see such a big event's live videos.

It should be pretty easy to parse the manifest and async xmlhttprequest the chunks and feed them into MediaSource (MSE). We could add this to the video player app if this is really needed by anyone. I am not sure we are currently parsing MPEG2TS in FFOS. We can either enable that in the libstagefright glue, or parsing TS in JS and feed the separated H.264 video and audio tracks into MediaSource.
