When try to download firefox my android says "problem parsing this package"

I have an Allwinner Android Kitkat 4.4 tablet. When I try to download Firefox I get the message "There was a problem parsing this package" when I try to open the 'exe' file in the downloads folder. How can I fix this?

Hi stockrags,
You might have downloaded the Windows version by accident. For every different platform (ie Windows/Mac/Linux) there's a slightly different way of installing Firefox. For Android you need to either install through an app store (like Google Play) or download an 'apk' file.
Do you have access to the Google Play store? If so, use this link to install Firefox:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox
Otherwise, you can download the apk file from here:
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest/android/
To install from an apk, you might need to adjust your tablet's security settings to allow installations from unknown sources. Let us know if you'd like help with that. :)
Best,
Josh

    The Firefox browser doesn't run on the iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch. There is a Firefox Home app, but it isn't a browser.

    When I try to download Firefox for Android on my Epic 4G I get a message saying the item could not be found.

    An update to quote mbrubeck:
    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported 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 by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (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.)

  • I downloaded Firefox for Android on my Galaxy Tablet 7.0. The browser works fine when I first open it. When not in use and try getting bk on, nothing loads up.

    I have downloaded Firefox for Android on my tablet and added some add ons. When first using the browser, it works great and loads up fast. Once I get off Internet and try getting back on at a later time(whether it be a minute or longer), I type in a Web page address and nothing loads up. How can I fix this.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor ('''''yours is a PPC Mac''''') '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher ('''''which you do not have''''').

  • When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install. I even get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of firefox. How do I close Firefox???

    When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install even tho Firefox is closed. I get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of Firefox. How do I close Firefox??? The same thing happens when I try to update other programs. When a program is off what else do I have to do to turn it off??

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • When i try to download firefox i get a popup with user name administrator and looking for apassword

    when I try to download firefox I get as far as extracting then I get a popup saying that I may not have the necessary permission to access all the features of the program I get 2 choices 1 to run the program as the current user 2 I am given user name administrator and it looks for a password.When I try a password I get login failed bad password. When I try to run it as current use it will still not download

    SAVE the installer to your hard drive (do not use the "Run" option); save it to your Desktop so that you can find it. When the download is complete, close whatever browser you have open, click or double-click the file you downloaded and see if it installs without a problem.
    The downloader is a self-extracting archive and should not need or use 7-zip. I have 7-zip installed on my system and it does not interfere with nor is it used in the Firefox install process. Hopefully, you have not set the downloading of .exe files to be associated with 7-zip.

    i have a htc wildfire, and if i try to install firefox from android market place it says that my device is not compatible with firefox. how can i install it ?

    According to a random website... the HTC Wildfire S uses a Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This processor unfortunately does not support the full ARM version 7 instruction set, so Firefox cannot run on it.
