Last year we have done some work on Creating a Firefox OS Indic IME as a part of 2014 Google summer of code under Swathanthra Malayalam Computing , the Indian Language technology collective https://gitlab.com/smc/firefoxos-ime
Santhosh Thottingal, Tim  , Rudy and myself mentored this project 


For Android we are maintaining Indic Keyboard , very popular AOSP based free and open source keyboard which supports 23 Languages and 50+ layouts (Many South Asian languages). It is used by more than 200K people via play store
https://gitlab.com/smc/indic-keyboard


https://github.com/androidtweak/dictionaries have dictionaries and wordlists used for Indian Languages 

Indic keyboard for Android uses popular Keyboards in each language . I love to see similar functionality  in Firefox OS.
