In Firefox for Android, I can open tools, downloads & see the .exe file that I want to install but when I highlight it to install it, the highlight blinks off. How do I install this software to my Samsung Tab 2?

.exe files only work on the Windows platform and not on Android OS.

What kind of program are you trying to install?

Adobe Reading Elements. I have since been advised by Samsung that they don't support Flash Player & consequently this software. I am now working with MontanaLibrary2Go.org on a way to get around this.
