You said at portal for android download to come here about devices not on supported list. This is too complicated process just to say that i have a tablet not a phone and you only mention phones. Anyway, i have a crystalview tablet which is inexpensive and therefore a lot of people will get it. It seems qquite jumpy...lots of errors...dont know if thats the product or the android 2.1 it came with. Also it comes withot support or much instruction.

I am not happy with the built in browser, the google imbeddedness, nor the opera mini or dolphin browsers i have tried so far. I have always preferred firefox so lets try you.

This msg is fyi only. No reply needed. If you can develop something that keeps us poor folk in the game then kudos to you.

What model is it specifically as a couple I found are not very great based on cpu, low ram and older Android like 1.9 or 2.1

The crystalview EP-4 tablet for example uses a 720 MHz Telechips TCC8902 and only 256 MB RAM (when 512+ is best) and Android 2.1. This Telechips TCC8902 is ARM11 or rather ARMv6 and not a ARMv7 cpu that is required for the current mobile Firefox releases.

Not saying it will work on your tablet but the good news is that Mozilla is looking to try and get ARMv6 mobile Firefox releases in future (for Firefox 16.0 maybe).

If you do not mind being more of a Tester, then there are these Beta builds of mobile Firefox 16.0 like the 16.0b5 you could try at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/16.0b5/android-armv6/

Come to think of it, unless you can upgrade to Android 2.2 or newer you may not be able to use mobile Firefox on it anyways.
