Will mainstream privacy apps like Wickr, Disconnect, DuckDuckGo, Encryptr and SpiderOak work on Firefox OS?

I am not a Firefox OS user, but I'd like to be. The main holdup for me is that the worry that the other major privacy based mobile software I use is not transferrable to a Firefox phone. Can you verify that apps like the above will work on a Firefox OS? Or if not, will they in the future?

Hi decorus_veritas,
Thank you for your interest in Firefox OS and the Open Web!
Unfortunately, it appears that some of these services have not yet made an application that is compatible with Firefox OS. This only depends on the developers and creators of these services.
Firefox OS runs applications that are based on HTML5 standards. As long as they offer an HTML5 client, or an HTML5-accessible webpage, like DuckDuckGo and SpiderOak appear to have, then it will technically run on Firefox OS.
In the meantime, you may write directly to those services and developers requesting that they make a version that is compatible with the Open Web.
I hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions or comments.
Thanks,
- Ralph

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
    I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
    If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
    Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

  • Download Pull-Down Menu in Web App Olive ActivePaper Daily 4.0 No Longer "Works" in Firefox 10

    I have a paid subscription to the online edition (aka "e-edition") of the Raleigh News & Observer, http://www.newsobserver.com/. In Firefox 10, I am no longer able to download the pdf of the paper; the download pull-down menu in web app "Olive ActivePaper Daily 4.0" no longer "works" in Firefox 10 on Win XP or Win 7. This was not a problem in Firefox 9 and earlier. The pull-down menu continues to "work" in IE8. A valid username & password is required to do the download. The ''only ''change made to my Windows XP system was the upgrade from Firefox 9 to Firefox 10.

    The thread "Keynote Cancelled Shutdown: how do I troubleshoot?" has recently posted a possible solution but is there an explanation or a fix planned?

  • My ipod 4 wont let me get certain apps like kik call of duty and vine the free buttons are blurred out for these apps and more

    I seriously really want these apps but it wont let me and I am old enough to get the apps! Please help me soon.

    Do you have a Restrictions set that prevent installing those apps? Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and check.
    Vine requires iOS 5 or later but y have to 17 years old. The age is determined by Restrictions, not the Apple ID used.

  • Apple said that iOS 8 willI  contain new apps like health app but I couldn't find it

    I downloaded the new update but have no new apps.

    iPads should not require AntiVirus programs unless for any reason they are jail broken. iPads are 99% virus free, and therefore should not require antivirus programs (in fact, I don't think any developers have these on the App Store as Apple denies them since the devices are almost fully virus free)

  • Running a Java App like a service in linux and not closing with window

    I know its not really a question i should ask you but thought you might have a quick answer for me, I have trying to running a small java application on one of the servers. I want it to run almost like a service, what i mean is i dont want the application to end when the terminal session is ended. So i thought i should put an entry into the /etc/rc.local file as follows (Final Line):
    cd /home/bluepoint/Teamselect_ServerApp_v1.0/bin/
    java Server
    #!/bin/sh
    # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
    # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
    # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
    touch /var/lock/subsys/local
    /home/bluepoint/kmyfirewall.sh
    su - bluepoint "/usr/local/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin/startup.sh"
    cd /home/bluepoint/startme.sh
    As you will see it call a shell script which contains only the following lines (or see attached):cd /home/bluepoint/Teamselect_ServerApp_v1.0/bin/
    java Server
    but nothing happens when i restart the server. The DB, sendmail, tomcat etc start fine but not my app.
    The application works fine if i start it in a terminal window so i know it can run.
    Any ideas what im doing wrong??
    Kind Regards

    It's probably not happening because you missed the -c from the su command. However this isn't the correct approach to daemon processes on linux (which is what you're after).
    What you need to do is to place a script in the /etc/init.d directory. This script should take a single argument and start the daemon if the argument is "start", and stop it if "stop". Check out the scripts already in there to see how it's done.
    Then go to System Settings/Server settings/Services and enable the new service for the normal run level.

  • Apps like Bank of America have Problems with iOS 7

    When I upgraded to iOS7, I started having problems logging into certain apps that required a password. Apps like Bank of America, Etrade and Starbucks were all giving me a problem. I am sure other apps exist that may exhibit similar problems. I called Apple Support and they said other people were having similar problems. I thought I should post this so other folks experiencing the same issues may find this helpful. The solution that Apple Support gave me was to reset my iPhone, which is a real headache.
    I finally figured out how to fix the problem. You have to set Safari to accept cookies. Once I did this I was able to log in successfuly to all of these apps.
    Go to Settings > Safari. Look for a feature called Block Cookies in the Privacy & Security section. Set the Block Cookies option to "Never."
    Once you do this, make sure to double click the home button and close the apps so they are not running in the background anymore. You don't have to close all the running apps. Just close the ones with which you were having a problem. You just double click the home button and flick the apps in the up direction to get rid of them.
    Once you are sure the apps are not running in the background, try logging in again. With the Block Cookies option set to "Never," the apps should allow you to log in successfuly.
    Hope this works.

    Pezelias - thank you.  Fixed my problem with my Starbucks app.
    As an FYI, I had previously called Starbucks support and they are aware of the issue.  Apparently an update / fix is in the works but the timing is uncertain.

  • No audio on some App like tennistv the have live stream video, I used to hear the audio, they told me is an iPad issue, also trayed RolandGarros App no audio

    I have several Tennis App like TENNISTV, US OPEN, ROLANDGARROS and last month I noticed that I have no sound on the video (this is live streaming) games if I do log in on my PC there is video and audio playing, I did contact them, the 1st suggestion was to delete the app and reinstalled, I did not worked still no sound at all, they told me to contact Apple

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music/iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
