When will Mozilla listen to their users?
Same old update cobblers. Firefox nags and nags about doing the update. I kept canceling this until I reckoned they must have sorted out the usual plugin cockup and accepted the update and here we go, as usual, this time Cocoon is not compatible. I now have to use Explorer until this is sorted out. I do try to be loyal to Mozilla but when you get this on-going fiasco every time an update is available it stretches my patience. Last week I recommended Firefox to a family member who had just purchased a Nexus 10, Woops! BIG MISTAKE. Firefox for Android only knows about USA, she spent ages trying to Google for supermarkets in the UK before getting back to me and it was then I realised it was the usual Firefox cock-up and she resorted to Chrome. Again, I was trying to support Mozilla but at the end of the day people just want things to work and they really don't care to be messed about.

By Cocoon, do you mean this: https://getcocoon.com/support/download
The current download is marked as compatible with Firefox up to version 30. The internal dates in the file indicate it was updated on April 4, 2014.
If Firefox isn't automatically checking for extension updates, could you try a manual update using the following method:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, above the list on the right side, click the "gear" button and choose Check for Updates.
If Firefox is not able to check Cocoon's site for updates, that might be a bug in Firefox, or it might be that the publisher has not enabled Firefox to check because it has its own updating feature. (I'm not very familiar with the options on that, or this extension.)

Regarding the Android question, I haven't heard about problems with non-U.S. locales before, but I definitely can't keep up with every question here. Probably worth a separate thread tagged for Android so the volunteers most familiar with it will spot it..
