We don't have resources to do that, but we're working with KaiOS to renew their system.
Firefox OS was discontinued in 2016 with last update back in 2015, though there has been a few forks or based on Firefox OS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS#Forks

But I am not convinced with the reply.

Hi
There has been no planned changes in our position on this over the last five years. We are focusing our mobile efforts on Android and iOS platforms.
Any email addresses I can contact for help?
We no longer support FirefoxOS, there is no email address to use for help with this product.
What about these links:-
- https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/b2g/nightly/
- https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/b2g/manifests/
- https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/fxos-simulator/
- https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/r2d2b2g/
- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b2py1btcwstqldl/AABblbq_csa1IHQwdvLdfptTa
None of them have been removed yet.

Then why the following links have not been removed yet? https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/b2g/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/r2d2b2g/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/fxos-simulator/ https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b2py1btcwstqldl/AABblbq_csa1IHQwdvLdfptTa
Those links are for those who still use Firefox OS.
What about the dropbox link which contains empty img files for flatfish build. Is there any other link for these img files and is the dropbox link ready to be removed? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b2py1btcwstqldl/AABblbq_csa1IHQwdvLdfptTa
The Mozilla community makes open source software - software that people are free to remix and extend as they wish.
Making the code available is part of that process.
Is there any way to create those img files by ourselves?
