Want Firefox for Android phone but NOT thru Android marketplace

I don't want a gmail address(required for Android store) because is is key to Google's new privacy destruction campaign. Answer soon I have less than a week to return Razr which is otherwise great.

You can follow the bitly link at to get the apk directly https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Firefox_for_Android
You will need to enable installation of non-market apps in the Android settings.
There are no update notifications for Firefox mobile. You will need to get the new version manually to get the latest security, stability and feature fixes. These releases happen every 6 weeks.

  • My texts say they are sent to an android phone, but the android does not receive them for hours, or even at all.

    So, recently my texts are not being received by an android phone. It says they are sent on my phone, but the android phone does not get them for hours or even at all. When they do come through, they come in random order. It is really aggravating and I do not know how to fix it at all. I have reset my phone multiple, updated it, I have tried everything. Any thoughts?

    Contact your carrier. There are no settings on the iPhone regarding SMS. SMS is a carrier function. Have the carrier check to make sure that your account is provisioned correctly.

  • How to set up auto bluetooth for phone but not audio

    I would like to set up my car bluetooth to work with the phone, but not with music/misc. audio. My car (2012 Scion) allows this, and I used to do it with my Android phone. But I cannot figure out how to make it work with my new iPhone 6. If I disconnect the music connection from the car, it disconnects the phone too. My Android had its own setting to choose one or the other or both.
    How can I do this on iPhone? It is a pain to have music start playing when I don't want it to -- when bluetooth connects.
    Thanks for any guidiance!!

    It seems that this is yet another of the neanderthal things that iOS can't do but Android has done forever.
    Is there any way to stop iphone from starting itunes and starting playing the last song played (weeks ago) every time I get in the car?

  • My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?..

    My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?.. Is it because my 3g is only active on the android os and not the ios platform? Texts, Calls and Wifi work fine but the 3g doesn't work. My phone only shows 'GPRS' in the top left corner. Also I get a message come up saying "Could not activate mobile data network. You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".
    Any advice would be great.

    Hi hexonxonx, I'm on o2. Thanks for your advice. You are right. All I had to do was change one of my APN settings to mobile.o2.co.uk and reboot my phone and this sorted it out straight away! Thanks again. Much appreciated . I was thinking I was going to have to go back to an android phone to use my 3g again but this eliminated that need. Thanks.

    A few times a week

    Firefox is shutting down windows I want to remain open. Example: I am done viewing one window. I click the X to shut the window and it shuts two windows. Every single time, attempt to close one windows, two windows close. Lately, I have been opening several windows with nothing but google search, just so it will shut that window and not something else I want to remain open. I could understand this if I was using tabs, but I am not. This has been going on for over two weeks. I don't like going back to history to open a window, I did not want closed in the first place. Isn't that what 'Windows' is all about? Any ideas?

  • I use an xpi extension (moderating yahoo groups) for FF on my laptop. I have FF mobile on my Android phone but cannot get the extension to work on the phone. Any ideas? Need any more information from me? Many thanks

    I moderate several 'Freecycle' and similar community groups hosted by Yahoo Groups. A tool has been developed to make this easier (e.g. automating certain functions, standard messages etc) for FF users on PCs & Macs. I have FF mobile on my Android phone but cannot get the moderation tool to install.

    Extensions would need to be modified by the extension author to work with Firefox mobile.

  • I want to be able to erase the pictures out of my phone but not from the cloud

    I want to be able to erase the pictures out of my phone but not from the cloud and I still want them to go into the cloud. How can I do that?
    Thanks!

    Are the pictures transferred to another device? Note the following quotation from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
    If you are wanting a cloud storage option for photos you may want to investigate something like Flickr.

  • I want camera ,apps and wifi but not the phone. Can I do that?

    I want camera ,apps and wifi but not the phone. Can I do that?
    I'm sure this is a common Q but I've spent more time then needed already to find the answer with no luck.
    It's a free star to a polite answer

    This rings very true. The iPhone is subsidized by AT&T by a significant amount. This is corporate line fact.
    AT&T's subsidized price for the iPhone is as follows:
    3G - $99 for the 8GB & $149 for the 16GB.
    3GS - $199 for the 16GB & $299 for the 32GB.
    These prices require signing a two year contract with AT&T.
    Apple and AT&T's non-subsidized/no-committment/full retail sales price for the iPhone is as follows:
    3G - $499 for the 8GB & $549 for the 16GB.
    3GS - $599 for the 16GB & $699 for the 32GB.
    The iPhone is an iPod Touch with a phone that also includes a GPS receiver, bluetooth, and a camera. It also includes proximity sensors to turn the iPhone's screen off when holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call.

  • HT1727 i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

  • HT1386 I am unable to get a two way calendar sync with my iPhone 4s and my mac's ical.  iTunes syncs my mac's calendar to the phone, but not the other way.  I do not use iCloud and I cannot find any menu for removing sync history as described by others.

    I have spent 3 hours trying to get my ical updated on my mac with events added to my iphone calendar. Itunes will sync the calendars from the mac to the phone, but not vice versa.  I have read every post which relates to this problem, but I do not use iCloud, there is no iSync app on my mac, and there is no menu to delete sync history under system preferences.  My mac is fairly new and is running Mac OS X 10.7.4.   I tried to delete the iphone from itunes and start over, but can't even do that.   Now what?  Any advice short of throwing both devices out the window?

    For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3: 
    If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
    Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:   
    if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
    Choose Reset Sync Services.
    Click Reset Sync History.
    Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
    In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
    Open Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

    If they were synced to your phone, they can only be removed by syncing them off with iTunes.  Create an empty folder on the computer you normally sync your phone with.  Then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the photos tab and select to sync the empty folder you created earler.  Then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  This will remove any photos on your phone that were synced to it from a computer.
