My memory must be getting soft. It's telling me that there was a firefox flatpak somewhere but google searching is telling me otherwise. And I also found this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278719
So, maybe it is, or will be, a Fedora created flatpak if the Mozilla folks aren't on the case?

We're working on packaging Firefox for Flatpak.
We'd like to start with the Developer Edition, then continue with nightly builds. The stable versions will come last because users get quick and easy access to them through Fedora repositories.
We already have a working unsandboxed version of Firefox DE, but we need to set up a building machine, hosting for the repo, installation instructions,... and it's now being held back by PTOs in the team and other priorities, but hopefully in early January we will be able to go public with it.

What's the mirroring / hosting plan for this?

That's what we've been struggling with a bit... Initially we will build it on a team's building cluster here in Red Hat and the repo will be hosted on mojefedora.cz which runs on OpenShift.com.
That's for the initial experimenting for early adopters. I know that as a long term solution we need to have something more solid (transparent building, infra that is well maintained, enough bandwidth...). That's why we'd like to convince Mozilla to take over the building and hosting, but I heard Mozilla doesn't have abundance of hardware either and they want to see something tangible before they commit to it.

Could we do the building but they do the hosting?
I assume that this is to be an ostree on the hosts. We've seen that this doesn't work well with our traditional mirror setup (it's more suited for a CDN). We're working on a mirror solution for OCI bundles for the Layered Image Build Service — if this Flatpak were to be in that format, we could put it in that registry.

I was told that Mozilla wouldn't host 3rd-party binaries, so it will have to be integrated in their build infrastructure and built there if we want them to host it. And I think it's a reasonable requirement. Fedora would require no less. But that's the step two. Now we focus on getting some experimental builds out to get early feedback and to have something tangible for Mozilla people to look at. We'd like to have two branches: stable where Firefox is not sandboxed and you'll get a very similar experience to the RPM one, and devel where we will sandbox it and test how Firefox can handle it to see where we need to change things because a fully sandboxed Firefox is the ultimate goal.
