Firefox on my Android goes no where

Every time I open Firefox on my Android device it opens a black screen that say 'Private Browsing'. There's no way that I can find to go to another page or to enter anything on this page. There's no address bar so I can't navigate to any place. Can someone help me with this?

Hi GiftedSailor,
This does not sound like the traditional Guest Session. On Firefox for Android you can exit a guest browsing session by tapping on settings and tap on the bottom "Exit Guest Session"
*[[Share your Android device with a Firefox Guest Session]]
You may want to consider a reinstall if this is not the case.

I need an offline install for firefox v26, can you please advise where I can get this?

I need an offline install for firefox v26, can you please advise where I can get this?

Hi haydenr,
It's best to use the latest version of Firefox if you can, but you can download Firefox 26 here:
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/26.0/android/
Just choose your locale (British English is en-GB, American English is en-US, etc) and then click the link for the apk file. :)
Hope that answers your question!

What is difference between Firefox OS and Android or iOS?

What is difference between Firefox OS and Android or iOS?

kingofhawks, Firefox os is open source, offers the ability of do not track and has many great customization options. It is currently however targeted at 3rd world countries and/ or underdeveloped countries so it isn't recommended to use this if you're use to using Android and iOS at this moment. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks

I have no folder for firefox in application support... where can I find the stored passwords from my time machine back up!!?

Everywhere I look it says I should have a folder for Firefox in library/applicationsupport/ BUT I don't have one! I'm looking to restore passwords from a time machine back up but there's no Firefox folder so I don't where to look. I even did a fresh install of Firefox on my mac and even then it never created a Firefox folder in library/applicationsupport/... they must be store somewhere in my back up...!?

Hello kamilr, check also in :
~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
The tilde character (~) refers to the current user's Home folder, so ~/Library is the /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Library folder.
note that in mac 10.7 and above, the ~/Library folder is hidden by default, see : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
when you find the file seek for '''key3.db''' and '''signons.sqlite''' files.
Your passwords are stored in two different files, both of which are required:
'''key3.db''' - This file stores your key database for your passwords. To transfer your saved passwords, you must copy this file along with the following file.
'''signons.sqlite''' - Saved passwords
thank you

How to exctract/backup a client certificate from Firefox for Android similar to question #1000240 but for the latest Firefox Beta for Android?

As in #1000240 and in #1032181, I've installed a StartSSL login certificate in my Firefox for Android and having a problem with extracting/backuping it to use with another device/browser.
I'm using the latest Firefox Beta for Android (35.0) at present; the Android version is 4.1.2, my phone model is Sony LT26i (Xperia S), so neither of the aforementioned questions asked at the Mozilla Support website do not contain any solution to the given problem.
Any chance to recover the certificate?
P. S. I haven't rooted my device; if getting a root is the only possible way to recover the certificate, I may consider doing so.

You can try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/ If that does not retrieve the file then see below.
If you know the name and path of the file you can get it using run-as function of adb. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18471780/android-adb-retrieve-database-using-run-as
If you end up down here you'll need root to be able to navigate the file system. I don't know the file name, though it is likely in your profile folder which can be determined by visiting about:cache in the Firefox address bar. It will be similar to /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta/files/mozilla/$RANDOM.default/

Hi there, i am big fan of Firefox browser,and now i hear Firefox OS on android phone, i own a Gieonee ELife E7 16gb Variant & i wnt 2 instal FF OS. plz help me.!
I want to install Firefox OS for my phone, please let me know the way to do it. i have rooted my phone
and costumed my ROM.

There are some Android devices which other people have already built and installed Firefox OS for.
If you have a Galaxy S2 and Nexus 5 it may be a bit easier to port Firefox OS - however, there is always the risk of bricking your device and making it useless.
Please also be aware that not all features of Firefox OS may work correctly on a ported build. If you are curious to know more, you may find information on these sites:
* [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Installing_on_a_mobile_device Installing Firefox OS on a mobile device]
* [http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-firefox-os-other-experimental-roms-your-nexus-5-without-any-risk-0150964/ How to Install Firefox OS (& Other Experimental ROMs) On Your Nexus 5]
You can also try the Firefox OS by running the simulator in your Firefox browser. Please check the following article for instructions:
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-set-firefox-os-desktop-build#w_run-the-firefox-os-simulator]
If you are an advanced user and would like to learn more information about manually porting Firefox OS to your specific device, you can go to MDN (Mozilla Developer Network):

We hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Firefox Mobile for Android download link = FAIL... Yeah it doesn't work....

I've tried to download the beta with my phone, with firefox, and with IE. The link is broken, or non existent... I've tried it for about two weeks now.

The link to download Firefox from the Android Market will not work on phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is compatible here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

Firefox 3.6.9: Goes to sites without being asked, often just a new tab. Takes 2 "try agains" to get to a link; I have Windows XP Pro. I'm not tech-savvy :)

9/12/10: More details: Firefox 3.6.9 goes to sites without my clicking on them (Google-Analytics, Wordslife, a gossip magazine, among others.). Google-Analytics and Wordslife appear as an address on a tab only; the gossip mag. appears when I minimize another site I'm on. I get a lot of "Firefox can't connect." I click "Try again." It usually does.
I have Windows XP (Pro, I think), Norton Internet Security and Ad-Aware. I use Outlook Express and g-mail. I have an account at Yahoo mail, but I rarely use it.
Also, my husband just swtiched us to a different router, but he hasn't experienced these problems.
Copy and paste ALL the info. from Troubleshooting? Holy cow! Okay :)
I am not tech-savvy, so I hope I'm clear on the problems. Thanks for whatever help you can give!

Hello giamflo,
I would recommend disabling your Norton 360 security. Navigate to device manager and right click on the USB Mass Storage driver that has a yellow exclamation mark and select uninstall. Make sure the BlackBerry smartphone is not plugged in and restart your computer. Once back up connect your BlackBerry smartphone before opening BlackBerry Desktop Software or re enabling Norton 360. Let windows install the drivers once you connect your BlackBerry smartphone and test with My Computer to make sure it was successful.
Thank you and have a great day.

After installing 17.0.1 on Windows XP, firefox will not start, goes to Mozilla Crash reporter

I've tried starting in Safe Mode, but same results...
Please help resolve...

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Trying to login to Mozilla Firefox account on Android but does not accept email or password

I can log into my Mozilla account on my laptop but when i am trying to log into my account on Firefox app on Android it doesn't accept my email or password. Are the login / registrations different for the two devices?

Are you trying persona account?
What's the error your getting when your try to login?
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

I am trying to download firefox to my android and get this meesage" there are no android phones associated with this account " what am I doing wrong?

I would like to sync my laptop and android but get the above message

To install Firefox from the Android Market web site, you must be logged in to the web site and your phone using the same Google account. If that doesn't work, you can follow the instructions here for other ways to install Firefox for Android: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.

When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.
Quando eu fecho o Firefox, a janela fecha normalmente, mas o firefox.exe ainda aparece no Processos do Gerenciador de Tarefas. Eu tenho que Finalizar Tarefa pra abrir o Firefox de novo, e quando abre vai para a página de Restaurar Última Sessão.

I have the same problem - every time I close firefox (using either the red x or by selecting file ---> exit) the program appears to close normally, but the firefox.exe *32 process continues to run. If I try to re-open firefox normally I get a message that the program is still running and I need to go into task manager and manually kill the process.
I could also kill the process from the command prompt, but both of those methods are slow and annoying. This issue has only been occurring for the last 24 hours or so; to the best of my knowledge I haven't downloaded any new software or updated any plug-ins that would have caused a switch from firefox's normal awesomeness. Norton doesn't show any new viruses or other nastiness on my computer.
I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

Sometimes a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear.

Sometimes, after its been going quite a long time. a Firefox window top bar goes weird, and the window controls at extreme top right disappear, making it impossible to resize or close the window. The only solution I have found is to individually move the tabs to a new window. The original (bad) one then disappears as soon as the final tab is shifted.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Hi bluefleetwood, the options on this site are Mozilla's current support options for Firefox.
Try the addons site again in case it was a temporary problem, or if it's an SSL certificate problem, please indicate what the page says about the certificate.
You have a serif font for most of your Firefox UI. Can you let us know what font that is? Most likely it was selected in your Windows display settings (right-click Desktop, then Properties) and appears on many of your applications. It appears to be the same one for Menu text and Message Box text.

Will Firefox 13 for Android be Released?

Will Firefox 13 on Android get released? The reason I ask is because for some strange reason, the stable version in the Google Play store is still at version 10 (pretty old now).
I want to have the best features in Firefox, so I hope 13 will get released and not overlooked like what happened in 12 or 11.
Version 10 is also pretty slow, hence the reason I want to upgrade.

Thanks for your response. It seems that Firefox 13 is available now to [http://example.com download ]in beta from Google Play, so (fingers crossed!) perhaps it may be available as stable in June?
