There is wifi all around me within 50 to 100 feet and I have the passwords but can not connect Mac Book Pro to the systems. I have been told that fire box can be a hotspot but how do I do that? it is installed on my android.

I don't think Firefox has a built-in hotspot.

There is a native Android hotspot feature, but many carriers block or modify it so they can charge you a monthly fee to use it.

To find a compatible app or a workaround, you might try an Android forum specific to your device. I've used this site in the past: http://forums.androidcentral.com/

Actually, I think the best thing would be to get support for your Macbook Pro's wi-fi problem, either on Apple's forums or elsewhere.
