One could consider Foxconn evil (I don't) and still recognize that it plays a very important role in the tech industry (most tech hardware gets assembled there after all) and therefor the fact that a huge player like Foxconn joins FirefoxOS could be seen as an important endorsement for Firefox and be celebrated by Firefox users/fans (which I am not).
The fact that you could turn a story like that into an occasion to attack Apple critics makes you look like some Apple fanboy with delusions of persecution.
I don't see FirefoxOS as the mobile OS for "Firefox users." It transcends the choice of browser in my opinion, it becomes something grander (as in Web standards native apps, and standing for freedom in the mobile market, much as Mozilla has stood for it in the browser market, but phones are surely in much more dire need of openness these days.) I'm not a desktop Firefox user as well, but neither am I a desktop Android browser user nor a desktop Safari user. And I'm really interested in FirefoxOS, and it doesn't involve giving up my preference for Luakit and Chrome on the desktop.

Oh sure, anyone could be a fan of FirefoxOS, that wasn't the point of my comment. I was just pointing that one would have to be twisted to turn this story into an Apple fanboy fight.
