So, where are Gecko/Gaia files located? Just kidding ;-)

Alexandre (in a previous post) and you made it clear to me. In fact, I didn't 
get the "not redistributed" part right. To me, "not redistributed" was meaning 
"not redistributed at all". Now Alexandre and you made it clear that it was to 
be understood as "not redistributed by Mozilla". Hence the confusion. Thank you 
guys for clarifying this point.

Yep. Always happy ;-)

That's interesting. By chance, do you remember how this problem was solved?

Indeed, I've just upgraded my KK-based Firefox OS 2.0 Fire E device (using some 
kind of shallow flash) to Firefox OS 2.1 using Flame KK device's v2.1 
Gecko/Gaia components from Mozilla FTP [1]. And now, my Fire E device is also 
failing to keep time between reboots or when switched back on. But I didn't 
update any Gonk file (I promise ;-)). Furthermore, both Fire E and Flame 
device's KK base images rely upon the same Android 4.4.2_r2 KVT49L build. So, I 
don't think the problem comes from Gonk in the end. It seems to solely come 
from updated file(s) in Gecko/Gaia. Unless Flame device is also failing to keep 
time ;-)
