Why force Firefox fans to download from Google play store?

This seems flagrant cronyism. Why in the world would would Firefox limit downloads to Google Play or "market places"? Come on guys! You must know how absurd this is! Not everyone wants Google sneaking around on their ROM. Offer the apk somewhere else!

Thanks for the link. It should, however, be the default link for downloads.

Google play is the official source of downloading any apps for Android. May be that's why they have chosen google play as the default. And many cases user doesn't turn on permission to install app outside of the google play.

  • Error message when downloading from Google Play Store

    After recently doing the toshiba system update for my AT300-32gb tablet I now get the following error message when downloading free apps from Google Play Store -Error processing purchase {DF-BPA-13].
    Automatic update for downloaded apps no longer works either. Anyone have a solution to this? 

    Go into your settings and touch "apps" on the left. Then touch "Google Play services" and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache." Then touch "Apps" again on the left. Now do the same for the "Google Play Store" entry. Then hold down the power button until it asks if you want to turn it off. Go ahead and turn off the tablet. Then turn it back on and try again.

  • Download from google play infected w. redirector

    Several days ago I downloaded ff from Google Play (as navigated to by a button at Mozilla site) for my Galaxy S4.
    I was initially using the Android browser.
    After installation, I chose 'Open' and ff opened and I navigated to Google, entered a search, got a legitimate hit list, but all attempts to navigate to hits were redirected to bogus locations.
    I immediately uninstalled ff.
    There were no addons.
    Is there a way I can install directly from Mozilla vs. Google Play?

    Hi to download versuons og firefox you may have to play around with that link and the directories. There are security risks by doing this that way and i recomend downloading over a swcure network from the play store. https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/25.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2025.0.1.exe

  • Can't Purchase apps from Google Play Store

    Hello,
         After recieving my phone and setting it up through AT&T (had to get micro-SIM), I have recently noticed that I can download free apps but couldn't download (purchase) any paid apps. I recieve this error everytime I try to purchase an app:
    I also have another Xperia phone which I was using with AT&T previously and it didn't have any issues buying any apps from the Google Play Store. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
    Thanks, 
         Steve H.
    If you can't see the image, the image reads: "Your purchase on your AT&T Mobility USA billing account was declined. Please select a different method"

    That would be up to the provider from my understanding. With this being the case I would advise you to have a chat with your network provider.

  • CreatePDF Mobile is missing from Google Play store, how do I get it?

    http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/createpdf-mobile.html
    If you follow the link above and try download this app for Android you will find it is a broken link.  Also it is not possible to download this app from Google Play directly as it appears to be missing.  I had a long discussion with the support team Case#0209718698 who suggested I seek help here.  This is very frustrating.  They've suggested I post on this forum, does anyone have a way to purchase this app?  Can't believe I have to post here for help when all I want to do is purchase an app, its not usually this hard to give someone money.
    Thanks for all your help!
    -Bee

    Just to add - I just finished on the phone with a very helpful gal from Google.  She confirms that this app has been removed from the store but she can't tell if it was Google or Adobe that removed it.  Either way advertising something on a site that can't be purchased is frustrating.  Would really appreciate a fix

  • Why can't I buy downloads from the US store? I am in the UK.

    I am in th UK and have bought an 80GB iPod on which I want to play videos while I travel.
    The UK video and TV content is almost non-existent. Jimmy Carr? Bloody Ricky Gervais? How utterly appaling. If there is amy more content, I cannot find it, and I find the iStore site difficult to use and impossible to find anything on.
    The US store is full of shows and movies I wish to download, but it say my account cannot buy from this store. Why is this?
    If this is a permanent state of affairs, you can have my iPod back and cancel my subscription. What regional rubbish in an international communications age.

    Blame the studios. I am sure Apple would like to allow cross country purchases. You want access to the American store, whereas I would like the Australian and British stores in addition to the American one.

  • Google Play Store problem after updated to Android 4.0

    Hi Folks,
    Recently i have updated my Xperia Neo V with Android 4.0.Whenever i'm tryin to download any apps from google play store, it taking more time to start. After that i'm getting notification like "App Name" could not be downloaded due to an error : 425 and sometimes 495. What should i do to resolve it. Thanks in advance.

    Everything on your phone memory will be erased (exactly the same as the Software Update).
    If you are using PC Companion, it will prompt you that your phone is up to date, just proceed further and click Repair.

  • Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

       Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
    Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
    It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

    There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
    I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
    Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

  • Why should I "Sign in to download from the App Store"

    Why does this pop up on my screen:  "Sign in to download from the App Store" when I am NOT trying to download an app or anything?  It interrupts my work, and looks questionable?

    second mouse wrote:
    Thank you thomas_r.  I did what you mentioned, and in System Preferences, it said:  "The App Store keeps OS X and apps from the App Store up to date."  I did not realize that OS X updates are now being done through the App Store, so I updated preferences so OS X updates will automatically download.  I hope now I do not get these sign-in messages, and my computer stays up to date!
    i have my App Store set so that nothing is automatically downloaded, and I have never gotten the type of popup you mentioned. Depending on your system, you could end up with unwanted upgrades by using the automatic setting. The App Store recently updated EVERY instance of Evernote on my Mac Pro, rendering it unusable on two io the drives. There are a few updates that you might not want at all, such as iTunes 12. Setting it on automatic gives you NO control.
    It is a fairly dumb updater. I was able to retrieve an earlier version of Evernote from a backup, but was not pleased at the behavior of the update process. Even Adobe's updaters aren't that bad.

  • Why wont my purchased music download from macbook to ipad?

    why wont my purchased music download from macbook to ipad? What checks should I make?

    Make sure that you are signed into the correct ID in Setting>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. If you use iTunes Match, you have to disable it on the iPad before you can sync your music.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes - Support - Apple
