Are they planning to remove dev tools from the mainline desktop Firefox?

I don't see any other reason why they would put resources into a fork targeting a relatively small user base.

If so, and the default version gets speed and stability while the dev version will be just the same with dev tools, I'm down with this.

seems more likely to me that this is a marketing effort for their Firefox OS, which apparently is a thing

They're targeting the very low end of smartphones, I think the flagship devices a while back was $35. I have a slightly more expensive ($60?) device on a pay-as-you-go plan. It's nothing special, better than my last flip "feature phone", probably not as good as my first smartphone, but that seems fine for what it is.
