Firefox Android Locks Up Samsung GS5

Cant stop Firefox Android from stopping working or freezing up on my Samsung GS5. Sometimes it hangs so hard i have to remove the battery to reboot my phone. Never had problems with my GS3 or my Tab2 devices. But galaxy S5 just hated this browser. I'm lucky to get a single page to load before it hangs tight. Removed or stopped as many bloat-ware apps as possible. Cleared cache etc. Any suggestions?

BTW i have tried both versions (beta) from the play store. My GS5 is not rooted, carrier is t-mobile. Has the same problems on 4glte and my wifi.

Sorry but Firefox is not available for your phone. Firefox mobile requires a phone that runs the Android operating system and a ARM CPU that supports the ARMv7 instruction set.

Firefox android opens to about.config as home page. unable to set new home page

firefox android always opens new tab or browser session on about:config page.
I've restarted browser and tablet(Samsung Galaxy Tab 3), and this behavior still persists.
All google searches suggest that the firefox android browser home page cannot be changed but this is obviously not true.
I've tried solutions that suggest navigating to about:home and modifying bookmarks and these paths do not work.
The awesome bar is far from awesome!!!!!!
How do I stop the browser from starting at about:config and how can I make the home page be what I want?

In the about:config page entry on the desktop there is a homepage entry, but does not show up on my android, odd.
Try this > Settings > Customize > Home
Change setting here and open a new tab to see if changes are made.
Also check the about:addons page to see if you have any homepage add ons that has saved the about:config page as the home page.
Looking forward to your reply!

Cisco Jabber for Android on a Samsung Galaxy Xcover (GT-S5690)

Hello there,
Yesterday we installed the Cisco Jabber client for Android on the Samsung Galaxy Xcover (GT-S5690) phone.
First we had some issue's with one-way voice, but suddenly this problem was occured.
Another problem, which is still there, is when you wants to check your compagny Voicemail (Unity) with the Cisco Jabber client.
We can access the Voicemail system (Unity), the we must fill-in the pincode followed by hash.
As you can see in the attached file, this can't be done.
Samsung Galaxy xCover (GT-S5690)
Samsung Galaxy S2
The reason is the screen size of the display of the difference of the phones.
Hopefully can this small issue be fixed. Our customer ordered 150x Samsung Galaxy XCOVER (GT-S5690) for working with Cisco Callmanager.
Technical Information:
Cisco Callmanager version 8.6.20000
Samsung Galaxy XCover (GT-S5690)
Android version: 2.3.6
If someone knows a solution of can support me, please let me kwon!
Kind regards,

I have a customer which about a dozen of these phones and it only vibrates on incoming calls but doesn't ring.
Same Android version : 2.3.6 -

Low resolution of Google Image Search results in Firefox Android

I'm new to Android, and I've noticed that Firefox brings up lower resolution Google Image search results in comparison to the same image search on Chrome for Android. When I click on an image result in Firefox it gives me the option of going through a low resolution slide show of all the image results, or clicking to see a single full size image. But that takes me out of the slide show, and then I have to backtrack to continue on with the low resolution slide show.
Chrome allows you to see the full resolution images within a slide show, allowing you to swipe from one full res image to the next.
Is there a way to get a slide show of the full size image results in Firefox Android without having to jump through all the hoops to see the full size images?
So far this is the only drawback I've seen with Firefox Android. I would much rather use it vs. Chrome because of Firefox's ability to use plug ins, especially adblock plus.

Perhaps I didn't write my post clearly enough. A Google image search on Chrome produces image results (via slideshow) of superior quality than an identical slideshow on Firefox. Your answer implies that Google sends higher resolution images to Chrome than it does to Firefox. I find that hard to believe.
Chrome apparently renders its Google image search slideshows using full size images, while Firefox does not. Rather than providing the full size images within a slideshow, Firefox seems to use lower resolution thumbnails, then forces you to click on a "Full-size image" button for each image that you want to see clearly. I was hoping there was a way around that.
My original question was if there was a way to increase the quality of the slideshow results in Firefox so you don't have to click on the image to open it up at full res., then backtrack to get back into the slideshow, then do the same thing all over again for each and every image you want to see clearly in full size. On Firefox you have to do all these extra steps that you don't have to do in Chrome. So, based on the answers so far I guess I guess that's just the way it is and there's no way around it.

Can't install add-on 'gmelius' to Firefox android.

I would like to install the add-on 'gmelius' to Firefox for android. Both Cnet and the developer say it is available for this format. However, I cannot find it in the firefox android mobile add- on list. Can you help?

Is it possible to write a combined add-on for Firefox (desktop) and Firefox (Android and iPhone)?

Dear Mozilla-Support-Team,
I am thinking about a new webservice based on an add-on for Mozilla (and other Internet Browsers).
In general, is it possible to write a combined add-on for Firefox (desktop) and Firefox (Android and iPhone)? Or do both Mozilla-worlds (desktop / mobile) differ and therefore require to write seperate add-ons (just Desktopn AND mobile or Desktop AND Android AND iPhone).
Thank you very much for your help!

It can be the same extension though you will likely need to write different code for FxAndroid and Fx Desktop.

In the future you should ask questions on on of the developer lists. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mozilla-labs-jetpack

What OS do you have?
Unfortunately the Firefox App is not working properly with 2.1 systems. Here are the bugs to follow their statuses: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?order=Importance;list_id=2400841;short_desc=2.1;query_format=advanced;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr;product=Fennec;product=Fennec%20Native

Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, unable to click anything or DO anything

Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, I am unable to click anything or DO anything and it is becoming extremely annoying! Ya'll just released a new version that I'd hoped would have fixed this issue, apparently not...and I also can't select an option in a drop down box, I have to use my keyboard to do so...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

Android viewer on Samsung Apps

I was not able to find info about experience with submiting of Android viewer to Samsung Apps - is there such possibility?
Thanks!

DPS does not officially support the Samsung Appstore hence no documentation. However, the same android APK from app builder should work on Samsung store too. Google around on how to send it to Samsung appstore

My Firefox android app, with data, is over 130MB.

My Firefox android aap has become so big that I can't install any other apps. The data storage used is:
Total 131MB
App 28.78MB
Data 103MB
Is there a way to reduce those data file sizes without just deleting all the data?
Thanks

hello TJFireBug, you can go into the settings of the firefox app > clear private data and select certain elements to delete this way.

Higlighter add on for firefox android

please someone develop highlighter/marker add on for firefox android to highlight html 5 pages

Actually, mozilla doesn't make addons, third party devs do then they are checked by Mozila, so a third party developer would have to make such addon. Please do note that most contributors on the forums are volunteers and do not work for mozilla.
