Phonegap can't add platform FireFox OS

I have problems adding Firefox OS as a platform to my Cordova project. I tried the simplest way:

installed phonegap globally:

sudo npm install -g phonegap

created phonegap project:

cordova create HelloWorld com.domain.hello HelloWorld

CD'd into the new HelloWorld folder, then added iOS as platform:

cordova platform add iOS

which worked, but when trying to add Firefox OS, I get

[Error: Platform "firefoxos" not recognized as core cordova platform.]

I tried updating the platform with:

phone gap platform update firefoxos

but all I get is

[phonegap] updating Fire Fox OS platform...

[error] Platform "firefoxos" is not installed. See "platform list".

    You want to use Cordova not PhoneGap (yes, there is a difference).

    npm install -g cordova

    then follow along in the link provided.
