I have no restrictions on phone. I tried to be safe and use security features like... Safe search,cookie block and such. However it keeps saying unable to download file type when I try and install any of the up to date browsers. This is interesting to say the least. Because my browser is already using the most up to date version. I have internet explorer using a windows 8 nokia

hello, the mobile version of firefox isn't available on the windows phone platform: Firefox work on my mobile device?

there have been technical and legal hurdles in the app store originally which discouraged mozilla from starting any developments in this direction. i don't know about the current situation, but since mozilla is now focusing its energies on creating firefox os as open source web-based platform, i doubt that you will see firefox on your windows phone device in the foreseeable future...
