Oxygen feeds fire, so the more oxygen the more the fire will burn, and more intensely. However, you’d still need a spark to ignite it. The friction from clothes etc. would not produce a spark to ignite the oxygen. However, mundane things like plugging a plug into a socket could ignite the oxygen, and any conventional way of creating a spark would also have that effect.
