I want to refresh firefox on my android tablet

I cannot play a video on a site I am using. Last Sunday it worked perfect and today there is a message on the screen where I watched the video before saying ( Video format or MIME type is not supported) Please help. Thank you.

Can I set up Firefox sync on Android tablet?

I'd like to set up on Android tablet & sync to 2nd Android tablet. Please advise how I do this.
Thank you.

Hi, Mozilla?
Not everyone has access to non - mobile Firefox. Please fix. I know many people who only have a phone, I'm sure they would like to be able to sync as well.
Sincerely,
a long time Firefox user.

Why is Firefox unavailable for Android tablets that do not have the Android market?

I own a Padigital Planet Android tablet, which can not use Google's Android Market, but the only link for Firefox for Android points to Google's Market.

Hi,
The Pandigital Planet tablet doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Firefox Mobile support and isn't currently listed as a supported device. For minimum requirements, see
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device
Following is a direct link to the application, but note that you may not receive update notices in the future so you'll have to keep Firefox up-to-date manually (if it is even compatible, which I believe it is not). http://bit.ly/fennecftp

I can locate no toolbar in FireFox on my android tablet. I did manage to get sync to work but, no toolbar

There is no toolbar. I have no options button. no home button

Only Honeycomb tablets (Android 3.x) have the tablet interface. If you have an Android 2.3 or a small screen tablet the phone interface will be used.

How do i run add ons on firefox running on android tablet

i m unable to locate the installed add ons in the browser..

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply. If you go to the Preferences, you should see new options for each add-on. Let me know which add-ons your using (I don't see any installed in your system data).
When you find an add-on using the search on the Add-ons screen, you need to tap it and then an Add to Firefox button will appear. Tap the Add to Firefox button to install it. Then, you should get additional items listed on the Preferences screen.
Thanks,
Michelle

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):

Im missing title (address) bar and the tab "+" button on Firefox Mobile for Android, how do i get them back?

I think I accidentally went into fullscreen and cant figure out how to get out of it on Firefox for Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0)

Hello Sher.
If you're talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

I cannot open Google in Firefox. Why not??? This is since I "refreshed" Firefox.

Ever since I refreshed Firefox, I cannot open Google which means I cannot access my Gmail account. This is very aggravating. Kindly help me to fix this problem I have tried the usual restart solution and it didn't solve anything.

As you may have noticed, the Refresh/Reset feature copies your settings (profile) folder to the desktop into a folder named "Old Firefox Data".
If Firefox was running reasonably problem-free before the Refresh, and you haven't deleted the Old Firefox Data folder from your desktop, there is a way to use the contents of that folder to revert the refresh. You might want to brew a fresh cup...
Check inside "Old Firefox Data" folder for a folder with a semi-randomized name. If there's only one, that probably has your old settings and add-ons. If there's more than one, you'll want to work with the one that was updated most recently.
Once you have identified the profile folder you want to restore, here is my suggested "old profile resurrection procedure":
'''Overview'''
These are the steps:
# Create a new Firefox profile
# Remove everything from that new profile folder
# Copy in everything from the old profile folder
'''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following into the Start menu search box, or the Start > Run dialog, and pressing Enter:
firefox.exe -P
''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like OldSettings, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
'''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. When Firefox closes, the profile folder should be front and center, or you can activate it using the Task bar.
'''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
Select everything (Ctrl+a) and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
'''Start Firefox'''
Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

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?

I teach online and firefox is recommended, Recently, the email functions quit working. They work with Explorer but not firefox. I want to use firefox.

When using Firefox, I can work in LoudCloud, which is Grand Canyon University's program; however, any locations from which I send students emails, comments, answers to questions, etc., is no longer working. It works when I switch to Internet Explorer, but I want to use Firefox. It is more user-friendly. Should I re-download Firefox?

Could you check which mail program or site is set to handle "mailto" links and try resetting it:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while Firefox filters the list. You should get one row with a drop-down on the right that lets you choose your mail program or site. If your program is not selected, go ahead and change it now. If it is already selected, try refreshing the setting by changing to another program or site and OK out of the dialog. Then go back and change it back.
Does that make any difference? If I have misunderstood the email feature you're trying to use, could you describe it in more detail?

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.

How do I restore all bookmarks from an external hard drive to a refreshed firefox?

I just "refreshed" Firefox and lost ALL of my passwords, even though the instructions said they would be saved. I have tried copying them from the Old Firefox Data folder and this does NOTHING. I have all of the data I need on an external hard drive and the ability to browse ( have already found my Firefox profile on the backup drive) and copy and paste data from that drive to my C drive. Please tell me EXACTLY how to transfer my bookmarks to the refreshed version of Firefox. I have YEARS of bookmarks that I CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. I will be more than happy to simply restore my old profile even though that will slow Firefox down. That would be a small price to pay, but I must have the bookmarks back. Please help!

'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

In approval procedure user do not want to refresh the software

Hi all,
In approval procedure i prepare the approval for outgoing payment, so when the user pass the transaction the approval going to manager but my issue is the manager must refresh his user when any new approval is coming.
i don't want to refresh again & again so you have any solutions of these tell me.
Regards,
Mobin

This is a database function that you have to refresh to get new data displayed. If you do not like it, I am afraid something must be developed by SDK tool to auto refresh for users. It may not be achievable though. Post it on SDK forum to involve experts there.
Thanks,
Gordon

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
