Firefox should definitely be compatible with my Android e-reader running 4.0.4, what am I doing wrong?

Onyx BOOX N96ML: A9 1GHz ARMv7 w/ 1GB ram (rooted)

• Google Play store states "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

• Mozilla website states "Firefox is compatible with Android 4.0 or above devices. Installation requires about 50 MB internal storage, 384 MB of RAM and a display that is at least 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide." My device meets all of these requirements.

• Other versions: Firefox current and older versions crash instantly. Firefox Beta cannot be installed. Firefox Aurora hangs. Firefox Nightly displays home screen but crashes after 3 seconds. (Same results installing to SD card)

• Other notes: No Android developer options enabled. Device uses e-ink display.

I'd like to use Firefox for the userstyles addon. I'm fairly certain it's the only Android browser with support.

Hi

We do not really provide support for Firefox for Android outside Google Play, however I do have an option that you may wish to try.

Assuming you have access on that device to the file system, you may want to follow this article that will walk you through how to install a version of Firefox for Android that may work on your device.
