Does Firefox for Android use Java?

Does it use Java? If so, how can Java be disabled or uninstalled?

Oracle doe not make the Java plug-in for Android due to Oracle's lawsuit against Google which of course is the developer of Android.

  • Why does Firefox for android spring open when I clear notifications or open files?

    Motorola Moto G
    Latest Firefox for android
    Android KitKat
    Why does Firefox spring open, even after I quit, because I have cleared notifications or opened a file I downloaded. I have double checked Firefox is NOT set to open images or videos automatically, es

    ES File Manager is my default player for almost all media. Firefox is not set to default.
    Here is a step by step.
    I see a picture I like so I download it. Firefox has now sent me a notification that the download is complete. After eventually closing the browser, I then clear notifications. Upon doing so, Firefox opens, regardless of whether it was running in the background or truly closed.
    Thanks

  • Why does Firefox for Android crash when I try to play any media or plugin content?

    I have had this device ASUS MEMO Pad for 6 months and Firefox for Android has never been able to play any media or plugin content without crashing. I have tried playing flash with the appropriate flash plugin installed and without and it crashes every time (it should not crash even without the plugin - it should handle it).
    Even HTML5 video and mp3 audio will cause a crash every time (with tap to play enabled or disabled).

  • Does Firefox for Android Tablet support Flash Player?

    I have a Samsung Tablet. I like to play Call of Gods. It requires Flash Player in order to play it. I have found Flash media readers, video players, but not anything to play browser games.
    Does Firefox have the Flash Player that I can use to play online games on my Samsung Tablet?

    SrazZz is incorrect and also did not give a reason why Flash will would not work.
    As of Android 4.1+ one needs Firefox 27.0 or newer in order to run the old Flash 11.1 plugin from Adobe. Mozilla nor the Firefox browser does not make or supply Flash.
    There is no guarantee it will work properly or at all on some hardware and cpus. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-watch-flash-videos-firefox-android

  • How do I change the default email app Firefox for Android uses?

    I'm using 8SMS as my default messaging app. When I try to share a link, Firefox gives me an error saying that messaging isn't my default app so it can't compose the SMS. Is there a place to change which app Firefox looks for when composing SMS messages?

    Hello,
    Did you choose share via 8sms? And what does the error message say exactly?
    Thanks

  • Does Firefox for android offer a desktkpversion of my oulookdesk top like my blackberry did?

    Does the android vetdion offer a mirror or your actual desktop view like o your computer?my blackberry di and I miss that. I could make changes to my accounting theflylikei was ho.e! Miss that!

    You can use the 'request desktop site' option in Firefox's menu.

  • Does Firefox for Android support drop-down list?

    Some desktop version websites extensively use drop-down list on the navigation menubar. But the annoying thing about this is in current Firefox, I can't find a way to expand the list items only without also triggering the link right onto the caption of the list, thus jumping to the next page immediately. If there's indeed a way around that, how to do it?

    The OS doesn't support hovering?
    Huh, In this case you devs are not at fault here.
    That being said, it sounds really ridiculous that you guys made a web browser that can't do anything of a particular desktop function. If you guys want some implementing suggestion, Consider these 2:
    1. Hold the Caption link on a dropdown menu, make the context menu appear, add another item at the bottom like "expand the menu" or something akin to that. tap it to expand the menu.
    2. Single tap to expend the menu regardless of the link below, tap the same place again to access the link, tap anywhere else aside the menu to retract it.

  • At what point does firefox for android start deleting browser history?

    My browsing history just stops in the 'older than 7 days' category. I did not clear history, and did not want to clear it. I am guessing it only holds a certain amount in there, but is there a way that can be changed?

    No, there was nothing like that. I haven't ran any apps that would do that. It almost seems as if there is a maximum amount that is held in the history before it falls off

  • Is there a possibility to download files directly to the external usb drive in Firefox for Android?

    I have the Android device that support external usb hard drive, when I want to download some files via Firefox there are only two possible "places" where I can put the files - external memory or SD card. It will be nice if there would be an option to save file on ext. usb drive.

    Hi Nix_N1:
    Yeah I don't know about this and I don't have an Android device that supports USB storage.
    What Android device are you using and what operating system (Jellybean? Ice Cream sandwich ?)
    I asked the Mozilla QA folks and they said Firefox for Android uses the Android platform download directory so the USB drive *should* show up if it registers properly with Android.
    They suggested the following:
    # removing the SD card and seeing if it shows up in place of the SD card.
    # perhaps changing the following preference (type "about:config" in the url bar without the quotation marks)
    ''' browser.download.dir'''
    will fix it ('''WARNING:untested and unsupported but hopefully this might help''')
    Regardless I suggest filing a bug at (I looked but couldn't find a bug that corresponds to this):

  • 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.

  • Anybody else having problems using alt+ANY_OTHER_KEY in Firefox for Android?

    I am using Verizon Droid (original) with Froyo, unrooted.
    Currently even with alt pressed, I am getting the original character (in white on the keyboard), not the alt character (in yellow on the keyboard).
    I noticed this occurring when I tried to enter my Firefox Sync username/password.

    There's a bug in Firefox for Android that means you need to hold the ALT key down *while* pressing the number key (unlike other Android apps where you can release the ALT key before pressing the next key). Does this work for you?
    We will fix the bug in a future release, so that the keyboard will work just like in other Android apps.

  • I downloaded Firefox for Android on my Galaxy Tablet 7.0. The browser works fine when I first open it. When not in use and try getting bk on, nothing loads up.

    SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 7.0
    I have downloaded Firefox for Android on my tablet and added some add ons. When first using the browser, it works great and loads up fast. Once I get off Internet and try getting back on at a later time(whether it be a minute or longer), I type in a Web page address and nothing loads up. How can I fix this.

  • Hello, I'm trying to use Firefox for Android on Nook HD+. Can't find Home button to set up Home Screen.

    I want to be able to start with and return to the Home Screen but I don't have one because I can't set one up using the Home Screen Button. Please help, thanks, Tony.

    Hello,
    Could you please specify your problem? Are you trying to get to the "awesome screen" (firefox home on android) If so, you just close your current tab or open a new tab. To do this, tap the top left of your screen in Firefox. This is to the left of the back button. Now you either slide down a tab to close it, or tap the "+" sign at the top left while at your tab area. And also, there is no exact home button while in Firefox for android, only in desktop Firefox (at least there used to be). Hope this helps in some way!

  • Does firefox for mobile (on android) support adobe flash player?

    I wish to view videos on you tube using adobe flash player from my HTC Desire running android 2.2, but need to know if this browser supports adobe flash player.

    '''Update''': Firefox for Android now includes supports for Flash content. You'll need the Adobe Flash plugin, which is no longer available in the app market, but you can still download it directly from Adobe. For details, see [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]]
