| Updated: Monday, October 13, 2014, 12:32 [IST]

The Firefox OS is the newest ecosystem in the block. Not many handsets are around that come with the similar OS. Hence, these are just young days for the operating system, with a burning hope that it will soon catch up to the likes of Android and iOS.

The Android and iOS, however, aren't the only ecosystems in the block. We also have the likes of Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS that are trying to catch up with the others. But none have been able to gain a similar status in the market.
