Compiling Firefox Mobile with ADS 1.2

Hi,
I'm trying to compile Firefox Mobile with ADS 1.2. But before starting, I would like to know from you guys whether it would be possible to compile Firefox Mobile with any of the ARM compilers so that I could put it into a phone having proprietory OS/platform?
Please let me know as I would love to see Firefox Mobile on our handsets.
== Extensions installed: ==
As of now, I don't intend to use any extensions with Firefox Mobile.

Initially changing the default application in Android is a snap. After you install the new application (new web browser, new messaging tool, new whatever) Android prompts you to pick which application (the new or the old) you wish to use for that task the first time you attempt to open a web page, check your text message, or otherwise trigger the event.
*Grab your Android device and navigate to the '''Settings''' menu (either by tapping the physical '''Menu Button''' and selecting '''Settings''' or by opening your application list and selecting Settings as seen in the first panel. Navigate to Applications and then to Manage applications.
and then clear your default settings, See:

Firefox Mobile zooming is not working on wordpress blogs

I use Firefox Mobile with Android 2.2 on the Notion Ink Adam. Pinch zooming works great on most pages but with every blog powered by wordpress I encoutered this problem (e.g. juancole.com and ironically notionink.wordpress.com).
The pinch gesture just stops working on these pages. I tried disabling JavaScript but that did not help.
The default font size is too small and there is no obvious way too change it essentially rendering Firefox Mobile useless for reading these blogs on my Adam tablet.

The mobile version of this site includes code to disable zooming. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page (hint: use two finger to scroll quickly to the top or bottom) and press the "Full Site" or "Regular Theme" link, then you will be able to zoom.
It would be possible to write an add-on to let Firefox ignore the code to disable zooming, but as far as I know this add-on does not exist yet.
You could also try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/bigger-text/ Bigger Text] add-on. You will need to turn off the option to "ignore mobile sites" in the add-on's options.

Firefox Mobile 4 beta 3 (and pre-beta 4) fails to install on Archos 101 Tablet using Android 2.1 Eclair with no specific error.

Firefox Mobile 4 beta 3 (and pre-beta 4) fails to install on Archos 101 Tablet using Android 2.1 Eclair with no specific error. Is this a know issue or has someone been able to successfully install?

Sorry, we haven't tested Firefox on this device yet, and we aren't sure why it isn't working. If anyone (especially with Android development experience) would like to help us debug this problem, please start by creating an account and submitting a bug report at: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
Thanks for the report.

Can I download a Evernote Web clipper to use with firefox mobil for droid?

Is there an Evernote Web Clipper I can download to use with mobil firefox?

It does not look like they have version for Firefox mobile. You can ask Evernote to support Firefox mobile in their extension. https://www.evernote.com/about/contact/support/

I have a Driod Eris with 2.1 software, Why won't Firefox mobile install?

The app store online has the app but will not install, and the same site from my device can't find it

Unfortunately I can see from the specifications that it has armv6 which is an architecture that is not supported by Firefox. Only android devices with armv 7 and greater can install Firefox Mobile.
Also it is mentioned here : https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android so follow the bug entered to see when build will be available.

How can I re-install firefox without losing my data. It is Infested with ADS BY bame.

Firefox is infested with "Ads by name".
How can I get rid of it or how can I
Re-Install firefox without losing any data?

Couple other suggestions:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Add/Remove Programs. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help surface innocent sounding bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Also, could you check whether Firefox has a non-standard '''connection setting'''? You can do that here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default "Use system proxy settings" should piggyback on your Windows/IE "LAN" settings. But you can try "No proxy" to see whether that makes any difference.
Finally, our support article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] lists '''cleaning tools''' other Firefox users have found useful. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

Issues with Beta Tester Tools on Firefox mobile

I just downloaded Firefox Mobile Beta 1 on my Droid 2. I remember seeing the "Beta Tester Tools" in an earlier build of fennec so, I tried to install it and I'm running into some issues.
I first downloaded "fennec-4.0b1.source.tar.bz2" from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest-beta/source/. I then located "[email protected]" in "mozilla-central/mobile/app/profile/extensions/".
I compiled the extension like I had for some of the one that I've worked on. I created a site using the guide https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Installing_Extensions_and_Themes_From_Web_Pages
and uploaded the files to my MobileMe iDisk. Everything showed up perfectly (don't mind the 2nd link, I was trying to install the Firebug beta as well).
http://web.me.com/celebi23/extensions/index.html
It installed & is showing up in my Add-ons menu. The Beta icon, however, is not showing up in the Toolbar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

mbrubeck, thank you. I was just trying to figure out if Beta Tester Tools could be installed in Firefox 4 Beta 1. I guess the Beta Tester Tools were disabled in Beta 1. Thanks for the response though.

Firefox Mobile available for those with no Android Market

Seems the article [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/install-firefox-mobile#os=android&browser=m6 "How do I install Firefox on a mobile device?" ] requires Android Market.
FYI: "Android Market" is only available with Google's GMS (Google Mobile Services) kit, and only for those devices Google has had the opportunity to approve. In addition there are limitations from which countries developers are allowed to publish and sell applications via Android Market.
Android being Open Source, is probably used on just as many non-certified by Google devices.
There are reputable alternative Marketplaces that power such devices ranging from tablets, Android TV's, E-book readers, etc that come preloaded (or for users download) such as the [http://slideme.org/sam "SlideME Market (SAM)" ]. Any reason, (beyond the effort it takes to stock the apk onto other stores) why Firefox Mobile for Android could not be on such stores, including Amazon Appstore (another reputable, but limited to US only)?

Firefox makes use of a lot of the features that the Android market has such as access to select devices (only ARMv7 + 512mb RAM), provides updates, and collecting Java crash data. If someone has a device that meets the minimum specs and wants to deal with updating Firefox themselves Firefox mobile can be found on the ftp.
Due to the above reasons and others I'm forgetting 3rd party markets are not a high priority.

Firefox 3.6.14 update won't allow pages with ads to load under XP Pro SP3

web pages with ads hang on loading and never complete. Firefox stops responding and has to be killed through Task Manager. This happened after I updated to 3.6.14 this morning. Pages without ads, e.g., Google Calendar, Google News, etc. are fine. I re-booted my computer, looked at extensions and cleaned that up to no avail. This has rendered 3.6.14 unusable. HELP!

I downloaded a new firefox installation and installed over the old one.
It fixed the error.

How do i browse privately with firefox mobile

i would like to browse internet using firefox in private mode without history saving and etc. just like the desktop version.

There is not a setting for entering and leaving private browsing in Firefox mobile. You can manually clear all private data by pressing the 'Clear private data' button in the Preferences window.
You can always be in private browsing by typing about:config in the address bar an finding browser.privatebrowsing.autostart and setting it to true. This will prevent Firefox from remembering usernames, passwords, cookies, history, downloads, form data, etc.

Does Firefox Mobile on Android allow the user to be able to view a Java streamed Webcam?

I tested the new Evo Shift at the Sprint store and brought up a webcam from the dog daycare center that would not appear on the phone. I was told that you couldn't do this on Android, I wanted to know if viewing the webcam is possible with Firefox Mobile?

Sorry, Firefox for Android is not be able to display pages that require the Java browser plug-in.

I uninstalled Adobe reader, then did the rest of your suggestions but the problem remains. It is only with 3 emails that get resent daily with slight changes to the text. It is like most of the text has been removed from the email.

Firefox Mobile changes bookmark order after sync

I've got all my bookmarks arranged on Firefox desktop into various folders and there are also various bookmarks in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder that are sorted by date added. I've connected to Firefox sync and synced the desktop. I've then installed firefox mobile on android and connected that to Firefox Sync. This then syncs all my desktop bookmarks on to Firefox mobile. However when I go back into Firefox desktop the order of my unsorted bookmarks has been changed and ordered by name.
I assumed that either Firefox Desktop would be the master and everyother device synced with this would follow the same order or that the first device linked (the desktop) would be the master. However Firefox mobile seems to sync the bookmarks, change the order and then sync this new order with the desktop.

yesterday I did what you suggest,
This morning I turned on my computer and open firefox, you bookmarks toolbar back chaotic.. you can see my snapshot
so chaos occurs bookmarks toolbar every firefox is opened and synchronize.
although today I fix bookmarks toolbar, tomorrow morning when I open firefox, it would be chaos again
''cor-el [[#answer-720436|said]]''
<blockquote>
You would have to restore the bookmarks from an older JSON back if the recent backup that Firefox uses to rebuild the bookmarks when you delete the places.sqlite file is already corrupted.
The name of a JSON bookmarks backup file includes a total item count (includes folders and separators) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once.
*bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
So you can check if there is a sudden unexplained change in the item count.

How do I change the order of Bookmarks in Firefox Mobile?

For Firefox Mobile (v4), I can't figure out how to change the order of bookmarks.
What am I missing?

Sorry, there's no simple way to sort bookmarks in Firefox for mobile.
If you use Firefox Sync to synchronize bookmarks with Firefox on your computer, then you can move bookmarks around in the "Mobile Bookmarks" folder on your computer to re-order them on your phone.
