Mozilla was very clever to partner with a big mobile telecom operator early on. Through Telefonica we're seeing good acceptance by OEM! I'm looking to see a Sony's equipment running Firefox OS than an Alcatel or ZTE... Still I'm looking forward for Ubuntu Touch and Jolla's Sailfish but is there enough market for everyone?

If Mozilla is making a new revenue source from this besides the one they get from Google searches, then it might be worth it even to have 1-2% market share for them, as long as it's a viable business to use FF OS for the OEM's involved.

Same goes for Ubuntu. Ubuntu is being used on only like 20 million new devices every year, I think. If they can double that number with their mobile devices, that would be very good for them. In 2014 that will only be 1% of the smartphone market.
