Is it possible to install Firefox w/o using phone's default browser?

I would like to Install both Firefox and Thunderbird onto a new Galaxy S-III w/o agreeing to the default browser.
Is it possible to download onto a PC and then port it to the phone?
The phone is running Android OS Kit Kat 4.4.2
It is on the Verizon cell network.

First off there is no Thunderbird for Android. Any app that is claiming to be is malware. You can try K-9 email an open source email client for Android instead.
By default we suggest users use Google Play to get Firefox for Android, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
If you are completely avoiding any Google services we suggest the Firefox Aurora build as it has a self updater. It can be downloaded from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#aurora
You can install the build buy using the Android SDK on your desktop or copying the apk to your phone and using a file browser such as OI file manager to locate the file and launch the installer. You will need to change the Android OS setting for installing apps from 'Unknown sources'.

Is it still possible to install firefox os in zte a21plus (Unagi)

I've tried to install firefox os on my zte a21plus. But got stuck.
I repeated all the process but I've got the same error. So is it still possible to install firefox os on my phone?

When I run ./flash.sh there is an error "image is too large try to run rm -rf out/target/product/uangi/data && ./build.sh" For my sorrow it is not helpful. The error message appears again. My phone is zte a21plus. It is rooted. Maybe I have to rebuild all the system, but I don't know how. At first build there was an error message that cmake not found. After I installed it and run ./build.sh again. But this didn't solve the problem.

Is it possible to install Firefox on Windows Server 2008?

I try to install Firefox 3.6 on Windows server 2008 but it says that the file is corrupted.
Is it possible to install Firefox on Windows Server 2008?

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.

Firefox will not set as my default browser? My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator? My family's Firefox accounts work fine. I have 3 other accounts have parental controls. Would that have an effect? in English

* Firefox will not set as my default browser, regardless of setting the option?
* My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator, while my family's Firefox icons are accessible?
* The 3 other accounts have parental controls and was wondering if that would have an effect?

OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox!

I cant install firefox,i was using it before and when it try to update to the new version18.2,it didnt install,so i uninstall it & couldnt install it again

i am using Firefox as my primary browser and to a much little degree chrome, i have noticed that after i installed some programs like new acrobat, new Java update and Microsoft visual c +++ 2010 that first chrome is not playing videos anymore and the plug inn were disabled. in the same time a new auto update for Firefox failed to install, then i tried to uninstall fire fox and chrome and install them again but after successful uninstall i couldn't reinstall them again, when i click on the installation file just it doesn't give me anything after extracting....
ialso uninstalled all the program i mentioned before and try to install firefox but i failed
i am using windows 7 64bit

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!

When I click the link to install Firefox to my Android phone I recieve the error: The requested item could not be found.

My phone is an LG Optimus, presumable of the type necessary to install Firefox. The download does not appear when I click the link.
Duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/781287

Sorry but this phone is not compatible with the current mobile Firefox releases due to the ARMv6 (ARM11) CPU it uses when release work on ARMv7 cpu's.
Also it needs the Android 2.1 update if you are still running 1.6
You can perhaps try the experimental ARMv6 nightlies (Fennec).

How do I install firefox when I don't have any browser?

Hi there,
I just had to wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall windows and all my docs and software. The tech folks didn't reinstall any browser--so now how do I download one? (I'm using another computer now.)
Thanks for your help!

You can download the Firefox installer via the computer that you use now and copy the file to an USB stick or CD-ROM to install Firefox on your computer.
You can find all Firefox versions here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

I want to download Firefox, but NOT have it as default browser, and not affect other users on the computer - is this possible?

I want to install Firefox, and be able to use it on demand, whilst retaining Internet Explorer as default browser. Will I be able to use either browser as and when I wish?
Thanks, and sorry for being stupid!

Hi Tony,
Thanks a lot - I thought that was the case, but needed to check!
Will McAfee security talk to Firefox ok? Site Advisor etc?

I have to re install firefox everytime to use it

Everytime I open Firefox it asks me to drag the icon to my downloads and I constantly have the ejectable download application open for firefox to work

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''

How do I set Firefox 10.0.2 to be default browser in Windows 7, using a script or setup switch. "Firefox.exe -setDefaultBrowser" does NOT work.

I want to set Firefox as default browser for all my users.
I can do this by opening Firefox and go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced and hit the "Check now" button. That works fine, but I need to accomplish this automatically.
Running setup with the -setDefaultBrowser switch does NOT work. Running "firefox.exe -silent -SetDefaultBrowser" after setup does NOT work.
Is this even possible? Or are we stuck with IE?

Thank you for your reply, however it really does not work for me.
I have Firefox installed, as well as Internet Explorer 9. If I check "Default Programs --> Set Default Programs" in Windows 7 it states that Internet Explorer is default.
If I create a shortcut on my desktop that points to "www.mozilla.org" for example, and double-click that shortcut, it will open in Internet Explorer.
I now run "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser" with administrative privileges.
I look again in "Default programs" and i still says IE is default browser. If I click on my shortcut it still opens in IE.
If I change the setting manually from within Firefox it works fine.
Please help, I really can't make this work.

Firefox has taken over as the default browser ... I dont want to use firefox, how do I switch back?? Thank you

I downloaded Firefox to try it recently. Today I noticed that every time I tried to open Facebook it was acting as the "default" browser. I'm having trouble using Firefox and would like to switch back to my original browser.

Firebug has development versions that should work in Firefox 4 beta builds. Try the latest version (1.6X.ob1) available from http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X/
This is a beta version of Firebug.
For other add-ons marked as incompatible, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 Add-on Compatibility Reporter], this will enable all of your add-ons and you can test to see if they work. If the add-ons do not work you can disable them. Note that the current release version of Firebug will not work, you will need to use the beta version.

Using web examples I modified all.js, firefox.js and firefox.cfg but still cannot disable default browser check popup in Firefox 3.511.

Working with Firefox v3.511. This version is required by business requirements. I researched how to disable the default browser as part of the install on the web but I cannot disable the default browser check pop-up.

It is best not to modify files in the Firefox program folder.
You can lock the pref browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser to false or create a file user.js in the default template folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile) to set the pref to false.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences<br />
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
In user.js you need to use <br />
user_pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
