Fire Sans is designed for maximum legibility on mobile screens. Instead of including your own typeface the app should just use sans-serif to use the system default font Fire Sans.

Duplicate #9 , which I closed because I didn't care one way or another, but since it's been requested!

Fira ships with Gonk. We would need to ship a new font file to support < 1.2 since Fira is only included in later versions. No packaging size gains to be had here. Issue in bugzilla.

pre 1.2 uses Open Sans, so you should be good. Only downside is that Simulator can't show it and falls back to whatever sans-serif you have as default on your OS.
