János, I don't know of any concrete plans to create self-contained APKs including a bundled version of Gecko, though you do have a few options.
As you know, keeping running against Firefox for Android is option 1. It has the caveat of requiring Firefox for Android as a separate entity, but it also keeps your package size relatively small. Second option is using Apache Cordova / Adobe PhoneGap[1], which will -- mind you -- not run your app on Gecko, but it *will* be a self-contained package (relying on Android's built-in WebView). There is also CrossWalk[2] which is similar to Cordova (partially API compatible, I believe) and bundles another Webview that's also not Gecko (it's Chromium) but that too will be self-contained, and you can write the same code and compile it for Firefox OS and Android that way. Finally, there's a project called GeckoView[3], which aims to bring a Gecko-based Webview to Android, and that can be (conceivably) used to power Cordova on Android. I remember such attempts to be underway, but I am fairly certain no stable public release of this (Cordova + Geckoview) has been made. While none of these options are turn-key, I hope this gives you a better overview of which directions you might want to push in.
