SInce I know you very well;I will never say that you don't have a High enough IQ!!!
I just feel that Android is way far too ahead in the Apps space here.Its a dominance which is unsurmountable unless Google themselves screw up[Unlikely].
And Google has the funds which Mozilla does'nt have.
Maybe my IQ isn't high enough to complete the analogy, but it would seem to be
Tizen:Android::Firefox:Chrome
And in the article it seemed to say that Firefox is a more "compelling user experience".
As far as apps, anything done with the Android SDK will be easily portable, and many apps are now written as web applications using JQuery mobile...so no porting at all needed!
If you need evidence that Tizen could supercede Android just look at how Android surplanted Windows and Ios in mobile. And now Samsung is the big kid in mobile hardware, it's only natural they would want full control of their software and Tizen gives them that. The next step is for others to follow and not have to pay licensing fees.
I have a PC with a 9850 Phenom II Black 4-core processor, and prior to upgrading it had an X2, both 64 bit, but I've never run any Windows but XP 32-bit on it.
The only 64 bit OS I've ever used on any of my machines is Suse Linux 11.2 -- and I haven't been able to update that because of my current disk partitioning.
because I'm one of those people who has a zillion tabs open at a time.
Currently I use RockMelt, which is Chrome-based, but I gather they've quit development on it. I'm *very* disappointed because there's features of it I really like, but since I am starting to run into compatibility problems at some point I'm going to have to bite the bullet and fall back to another browser. I had moved from Firefox to Chrome in the first place because of the memory leak problem. I had been starting to think about Firefox again because it reportedly had more extensions than other browsers. But if Chrome has a 64-bit version, and Firefox doesn't, that's going to make my decision harder.
I think Mozilla is doing the correct thing due to the problems they are having with the 64bit browser. If they get it out there and its buggy it will be worse. As long as they are going to go back to it I don't think its so bad.

I am not sure how aware you are with the Typical SDLC process.
Believe me its an extremely long-winded and messy ;especially on complicated Projects like this one[A Web Browser with millions of Users;constantly getting exposed to hackers,etc searching for Vulnerabilities everywhere].
Entrusting everything to enthusiasts can mess things up for consumers as whole.
Look at the Branching and Forking seen in Android[Especially new versions under Google and Amazon];which forced Google to eventually bring everything back in-house.
Yeah they can offer 64-bit build versions for enthusiasts to play with;but if you expect Consumer acceptance for such a varied User experience;I don't think so.
You pinpointed the issue earlier in your Blogpost itself[Its about the fact that not many Consumers;excluding Power Users] need the 64-Bit Browser today.
As for the question of revenues and Budgets;One can guauge that from the Fact that IE,Chrome and Safari all have massive IT budgets supporting them.
In contrast Firefox has much smaller budgets;so they have to prioritize.
I also would have preferrred if they would have released the 64-Bit version in the Wild and let enthusiasts play/develop on it further but that's the way things go today.

I've been writing about how the next evolution of the Internet might just be an advertising revolution, and how corporate IT can stay involved as the enablers and providers of the technologies that make this possible.
In the 1970 science fiction thriller Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority is conducting a pilot test of digital kiosks to guide subway users to where they want to go more efficiently and at lower cost.
The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
While NFC's original goal was to enhance mobile commerce applications, it is finding its way into a number of other uses, which is creating both opportunity as well as challenges for IT departments.
