Hi,

You should be able to launch the Android Market app from your tablet, then search for 'Firefox' and click the Install button to start the download.

I have tried and tried. Found the Android market app and have tried to install many times. The popup. Window says I do not have any "Android phones" connected with my account. The only thing I have is the Android Tablet. I am begining to think buying the tablet was a mistake. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for this additional information. You can try using the Android browser to download Firefox directly from this FTP site: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platform/Android#Download_Firefox_for_Android

This method won't enable automatic updates, but might help you get it going.

Thank you, I will give it a try once I get time at a terminal. I am a truck driver and want to be able to use my tablet for work too. Firefox will help me to be able to read and see load info and paystubs. Thank you I will try it when I can stop.

Hmm Android 2.2, Cortex A8 at 1 GHz cpu, but it only has 256MB of RAM I believe when 512MB is the min recommended.
