I guess they are talking about KaiOS, which had initial success, shipping on more 100M devices in India. Unfortunately they have been struggling to expand outside of India and even in India these days since their partner (Reliance Jio) is not pushing new devices there so much. Another major pain point is they lost support from WhatsApp, which is really the king maker in many countries when it comes to mass market adoption of a mobile platform.

The version of Firefox in KaiOS has lagged a long way behind the current desktop one.

Yes, it's been a struggle to ship newer version. It looks like they are preparing a new release based on gecko 123 (https://github.com/kaiostech/gecko-b2g/blob/gonk/config/mile...).
