Ari Jaaksi, Mozilla's SVP of Connected Devices, said at the Mozlando developer event last December that the company's great smartphone experiment would soon draw to a close. This announcement isn't without precedent, either. The company announced via email that it would stop supporting the mobile OS after releasing Firefox OS 2.6 (currently slated for the end of May), a move that'll free up staff that will try to figure out how exactly Firefox OS fits into the growing internet-of-things scene. Mozilla's Firefox OS isn't strictly speaking dead, but it may as well be as far as smartphones are concerned.
