I know that it is totally frustrating to have one's phone, our most intimate device, not feel reliable and not be a joy to use. The blame, however, does not lie solely, or perhaps even at all, with ZTE. My own feeling is that the blame for lack of communication, explanation, and support lies much closer to home. While I originally blamed the hardware providers like you are doing, I now believe that Firefox OS itself, and Mozilla, deserve the core of the blame. The fundamental irony of Firefox OS is that Mozilla builds the *only* operating system on which the Firefox browser runs where that Firefox browser CAN NOT BE UPGRADED! Building a Firefox OS where the browser (i.e. the entire Gecko layer, not the 'browser' app) could be updated by end users would solve most of your issues: you would get an up to date browser environment and would be able to install the new version of the core Gaia apps. Conversely, the current situation, where you can not even install security updates to Gecko, leaves you and all of us users, vulnerable to any security flaws discovered in the software. This situation is also terrible for app developers since we are going to have to code either to the lowest common system (Firefox 18 if I remember correctly) or to support the multiple browser versions on the different devices using duplicate code. The situation also sucks for Mozilla developers because they will not be getting their great work out to the largest possible audience. This is lose, lose, lose. This design flaw, as best as I can tell, is purely architectural; there appears to be no fundamental technical limitation which would prevent such updates to Gecko. (The technical limitation of support for new Web API which depend on operating system level code changes is real and would require an upgrade to the operating system itself which is more complex and may or may not involve device manufacturer support; however, those API represent a small issue compared to security updates, updates to the core HTML/CSS/Js execution environment, and updates to the main Gaia applications which ought to be as regular as updates to the Firefox browser on any other, i.e. 'desktop', OS.) The design flaw preventing Gecko upgrades on Firefox OS is Mozilla's; the lack of a response to that flaw is also Mozilla's. A good response to your issue would be to acknowledge it and explain the various ways in which it is being addressed. However, there is no one on the Firefox OS team who has taken on the responsibility to foster communication between end users and the project leadership. This is a failure of the the leaders of the project who should either be doing that work or delegating it to make sure it gets done. We end users can not simply solve this on our own: developing a clean architectural separation between Gaia and Gonk requires a complete knowledge of both the multiple code layers and of the Android+B2G build system, something that only the whole project, working together, can achieve. The (re)focus on fixing your issue is also the responsibility of the leadership. A good response to your issue would be for the leadership to make sure communication around the issue happened, a decision was made as to how to go about fixing the issue, and the project stayed focused on fixing that complex and central issue. Instead, the Firefox OS project seems to be a bunch of separate code teams, each doing great work building new features and better applications but leaving the core issues unaddressed. (I have a long email set to go out to the Board of the Mozilla Foundation on this issue of the lack of effective communication, leadership, and end-user focus in the Firefox OS project since the board members are the only ones that I know of who could assess the project to see if my analysis makes sense and deal with it if I am right; however, that letter is on hold until the CEO and board situation settles down.) This of course does not help you, an end user and probably a developer. I only encourage you to see that it is as
Re: [b2g] Never again will I buy a ZTE anymore.
I believe the worst company is LG. There is no support LG Fireweb (lack of: updates and official information about the device) and I can't flash my own images. So, those who own the device are stuck on Firefox OS 1.1. I have also an Alcatel One Touch Fire. I don't have official updates for now, but I can build and flash my own images.

I think only 1.1 was official from ZTE . 1.2 on a drop box folder wouldn't count . Inari nightly builds for 1.3 and 1.4 are not official , they have hit a roadblock and stopped :( https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.b2g/yw-DZEIah8A/discussion has no proper replies either from the community,mozilla or ZTE :( Also at bugzilla there are no replies https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=986004 > I stay with my ZTE Open because I have no choice, but the next think about > buying a Geekphone or any other phone to go on sale FirefoxOS if they sell > any. Geeksphone devices are called as B2G devices which is a sad development , but there is some developer push from the early adopters who purchased the devices like keon or peak. Revolution a dual boot intel device comes with android by default but is a good device by specs.
