Hi, I work for a manufacturer in Taiwan. We're developing an industrial grade Android device and it shall be launched by Jan, 2015. I know Firefox browser is free to download and install via Play Store, but our device is not going to pass GMS, so I'm wondering if we could preinstall the latest Firefox APK with our OS image? Is there any restriction or policy? Thank you in advance. -Jack

Not having a way to update Firefox would be a blocker. Any application that is used to connect to the internet needs to be able to get regular security updates. These are critical updates that protect our users from malicious individuals, states or companies.
