> make some deals with OEMs to bundle [Firefox for Android]

1. Using what budget exactly?

2. Most of those OEMs are already bundling Chrome in order to get the Play Store.

I mean they wanted to build an entire phone OS, and get OEMs to ship that. Shipping a browser should be more manageable, don't you think ?

Exactly. Most OEMs bundle chrome + other third party browsers depending on their deals and motivations. The play store contract doesn't prevent them from bundling additional browsers.
