Hi there, Firefox OS is a product name for the open source B2G OS project. The B2G project is still ongoing and anyone is free to take the OS and build whatever they like with it (you just can't call it Firefox OS).
The architecture of B2G has three main layers - Gaia, Gecko and Gonk. It should be possible for a developer to customise or replace Gaia (the front end part) with something else in order to meet your requirements. A web developer should have the skill-set needed to do that as it's all built on web technologies. The Gecko and Gonk parts may work as-is if you use an already supported device. If not you'll find the Gonk layer is much like the lower levels of Android (The Linux kernel and Android HAL) and a porting guide <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Porting_Firefox_OS/basics> is available. There's also now the option of porting using CyanogenMod <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Porting_Firefox_OS/Porting_on_CyanogenMod> which supports a large variety of devices. Good luck with your project, feel free to follow up with any further questions.
