No, Firefox OS isn't running on top of the Android layer.
There are three major software layers: Gonk, Gecko, and the HTML5 layer, which includes the Gaia user-interface.
Gonk consists of a Linux kernel and userspace hardware abstraction layer (HAL). The kernel and several userspace libraries are common open-source projects: Linux, libusb, BlueZ, etc. Some other parts of the HAL are shared with the Android project: GPS, camera, among others. Gonk is basically an extremely simple Linux distribution - but definitely not Android. No Java, for example.
Best wishes.
