| FirefoxOS || Open source operating system on smartphone and smartTV. || In early December, 2015 a decision was made to stop offering smartphones through operator channels, as we failed to deliver a phone that could win in the commercial smartphone marketplace.  Despite the amazing work of our team and community in creating an impressive OS, we weren't in a competitive enough position to gain the necessary market share. [[https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/EPM/CD+Smartphone+Sunset+Program JMcCracken, 2016]] ||  || The [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/B2G_OS b2g] platform will remain available for volunteers, contributors and enthusiasts to improve and submit patches for further advancement of the OS stack. Some cleanup and repackaging of Firefox OS was done to create “B2G OS”, which was forked and commercialized by KaiOS.

| [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Thunderbird Thunderbird] || Free and open-source cross-platform email client, news client, RSS, and chat client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. The project strategy was modeled after that of the Mozilla Firefox web browser. || 2015 || Thunderbird developers spent large efforts responding to changes to Mozilla technologies, while Firefox was paying a tax to support Thunderbird development. Baker said that she does not believe Thunderbird has the potential for "industry-wide impact" that Firefox does.
