Because I can't find anything about that on internet?

I am not a expert on the platform. (Really, I should say, I am deeply
ignorant about that)
What I like is the development environment, and the possibility of use
already developed resources
to do the "standard" tasks, take photos, save and play music, browse the
web.
We spent a lot of resources to implement that activities, and is not our
core mission.
Also, FirefoxOS is pointed to cheap devices for the third world, the target
of Sugar too.
