Cold war between opensource and closed source os

Its been a while where we always talked about android vs apple vs bb vs win8 but what would a customer expect from its manufacturer.To this competition a new contendor has has been here and its non other than "firefox os".
What would a developer expect from manufacturer?
Is this the success behind android over others?
In other view if we consider pc os its a complete reverse.People prefer windows over linux.
Whats your take?
I want the experts view on it.
Can firefox outbeat android?

    Android is too much into the nerves of its users. They won't replace it. Plus it is not possible to turn around an entire class of android users. Firefox wont steal Android users simply. If there is new demand in the market, Firefox is likely to capture its share. But not on a large scale.

    Firefox had already produced truck loads of apps in its website.

    PS: I am not an expert so just my two cents

    As long as there are competitors there will be OS wars in all platform So no point in telling which one will be better than the other

    But still we can say that Android has a well established market atleast for another 3 years Lets see how other OS farce and then compare the performance on a larger scale
