  • Firefox for Android will not play mp3

    Hi! Why does Firefox for Android will not play mp3? For example the tracks on this page do not play http://audiobook-online.com/?page_id=33 . Firefox for windows plays mp3.
    Alexander

    Hello,
    I've just tested and the mp3s on that page work fine for me. When I first visited the site I see a prompt at the top of the screen: "This page contains plugin content. Would you like to enable plugins".
    I clicked Activate and the audio played fine.
    If the pop-up doesn't appear then you can try enabling plugins across all pages. See here:
    [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?|Play Flash Content Without Tapping]]
    But be aware that there are security implications with this option. It is safer to keep flash as tap-to-play. There is more information on this in the article.
    I hope that helps.

  • Newest version of Firefox for Windows will not install.

    After the auto update of Firefox failed to work, I downloaded the full installation file for the most recent version of Firefox (28.0). The setup file extracts but doesn't install. I also cannot find the extracted file(s) on my computer. I have tried uninstalling older versions, running antivirus, anti-rootkit and malware programs and also disabling those programs before trying to install. Any other suggestions I can try?

    Download and save the full Firefox installer from here :- http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

    Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki><br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

  • Firefox for Android won't install on HTC Explorer

    My HTC Explorer seems to have all the requirements for Firefox to be installed.
    The screen resolution is 320 x 480 - more than the minimum spec.
    The Android version is 2.3.5. - higher than the version quoted.
    HTC Sense version 3.5
    But when I try to install from Play Store, I get the message
    "Your device isn't compatible with this version".
    Why not? Is there a version that IS compatible? And if so, where can I find it,
    and what, precisely, is it called?

    hello CambridgeChris, even if it's not available through the google play store, you can download all versions of firefox for android dirctly from mozilla's FTP server. details are available at: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    however, since you device is rather low-spec and firefox on android is a full-fledged browser with its own rendering engine, it will require quite a lot of system resources - so you might not get the best experience out of it at your current setup...

  • When I download Firefox, my computer will not install and claims it is corrupt

    When i download Firefox, my computer will not run the install and claims the file is corrupt.

    Firefox versions 3.0 and higher require OSX 10.4 and higher:

    However, I would think about finding/creating an unofficial build of Firefox 3 for older Mac (if you cannot get next version of Mac OSX). If it's possible. I don't know.

  • Firefox for Android: Search not working.

    I just got Firefox for Android yesterday and I've been having the problem of the address bar being very inconsistent and giving me very strange results.
    The very first thing I typed into the app was the first word that came to mind as a long-time user of Firefox for Windows: "woot". The expectation was that it would open up google search for the term "woot". Instead, it lead me to some website at www.woot.com.
    Afterwards, I tried several other terms and found the following results: (quotes not included in the search)
    "word" lead to a "Domain Not Found" page from my ISP
    " word " lead to the same as above.
    "word anotherword" lead to a Google search results page.
    "amazon" lead to amazon.com
    "aw" lead to a Google search results page.
    "it" lead to a Google search results page.
    "go" lead to a "Domain Not Found" page from my ISP.
    This all left me very dismayed, as typing in ANY of the above terms into my PC's Firefox's address bar as well as my old Opera Android browser's bars, would give me a Google search results page for the terms. Even when I search for "amazon", I expect to be given the option of searching for amazon rainforests instead of being forcibly taken directly to amazon.com.
    So my main question is this: Is there any way to force Firefox for Android to use Google search *no matter what* is typed into the address bar?
    I custom-fit a lot of the about:config settings for my FF on Windows to my liking, but have not been able to find a list of setting explanations for the Android version of FF. I am hoping that my problem can be fixed with some settings; and also if anyone has a list of them with explanations, I would highly appreciate a link to it.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply. I was testing those on my home Wifi (optimum ISP), as that is what I use most. I did test with my phone carrier's 4g also and did get slightly different results, but still does not fix the problem. Here are the differences:
    ======================
    "woot":
    * [Wifi] leads to www.woot.com.
    * [4G] tries to go to http://woot/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
    "word":
    * [Wifi] leads to a "Domain Not Found" page from my home ISP with search.
    * [4G] tries to go to http://word/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
    " word ":
    * [Wifi] leads to a "Domain Not Found" page from my home ISP with search.
    * [4G] ignores spaces and tries to go to http://word/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
    "word anotherword"
    * [Wifi] leads to a Google search results page.
    * [4G] leads to a Google search results page.
    "amazon"
    * [Wifi] leads to amazon.com.
    * [4G] tries to go to http://amazon/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
    "aw"
    * [Wifi] leads to a Google search results page.
    * [4G] leads to a Google search results page.
    "it"
    * [Wifi] leads to a Google search results page.
    * [4G] leads to a Google search results page.
    "go"
    * [Wifi] leads to a "Domain Not Found" page from my home ISP with search.
    * [4G] tries to go to http://go/; leads to a "not found" page from my mobile carrier with search.
    ======================
    So weird! Can't even find much of a pattern minus that two words seem to do okay.
    Furthermore, I just updated Firefox Android to version 24.0 which came out yesterday. Same exact results and the problem still persists.
    I am using an HTC Amaze 4G from T-Mobile. Android version 4.0.3. All stock and unrooted.
    Thank you again so much for your help!

  • I downloaded the newest version of firefox but it will not install, it is giving me a message saying the directory name is invalid. Why and what can I do to fix.

  • Update for keynote will not install...how to remove update or ignore?

    How can I ignore an update for Keynote that will not install? I also have an update for my printer that I have installed 4 times but it still shows as needing to be installed?

    Try hiding the Keynote app in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see it. Then try to redownload it from your Purchases list. You should get the most recent version available.

  • Got an Acer netbook which has linux operating system with Firefox 3.5 installed, the check for updates is greyed out, downloaded firefox 7 but will not install, we are constantly prompted by Firefox to update as 3.5 will no longer be supported

    Basically acer netbook will not allow us to update Firefox from ver 3.5 to 7, check for updates box is greyed out, thanks for your help

    Hi James,
    Many thanks for your reply, the machine was bought from Currys the 3.6 download warns you it will only be supported for a short time, and recommends downloading ver 7, I am unfamiliar with the workings of Linux but the machine has been good, there must be a solution, no problem if we have to pay for the upgrade. Many thanks for your help,
    Cheers, Steve

  • New Firefox 6.0 will not install, says "close Firefox" when not open

    I'm trying to install Firefox 6.0. It will not run and keeps telling me to "close Firefox" even though I do not have it running. Does it see itself running? Is there a glitch?

    Must be the "hang at exit" problem. <br /><br />

  • The web page says firefox for android can be installed by clicking the link on the site but the only link that shows up is for googleplay.

    I do not use googleplay. I choose firefox specifically to avoid google. How can i download directly, since the app is not available on amazon?

    Hi laSirena,
    Good question!
    You can always download the latest version of Firefox from here:
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest/android/ pick locale
    Once installed, Firefox will check for and download updates automatically - you can control this behaviour by going to the menu - > Settings -> Customise -> Download updates automatically.
    You can also check for updates manually by going to the menu -> Mozilla -> About Firefox -> Check for updates
    Best of luck with your principled stance against Google. Keep it up!
