i bought a Sony tablet S for my wife. She wants to access a program for work from home. I downloaded Mozilla firefox to the Sony, but when I open it, and go to type in a web address, it makes me choose Google as a search engine. How can I use Firefox on the Sony tablet? I did not see it in the list of supported devices. Please help. My wife is very frustrated, because she can only open her work program using Mozilla Firefox.

Hi Paulmozzi!

Here it is the supported devices list: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/platforms/ However, because of the large number of Android devices (phones and tablets), not all new devices could be tested yet, but the list will continue to be updated.

I am not sure if I understand correctly your issue. When typing something in url bar, you will have at least 4 default search engines (Google, Wikipedia, Amazon, Twitter), so you can choose any of them. If you want to install more search engines, here it is a useful link for that: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html (open this link using Firefox Mobile on your tablet).

If you still need more help, please let us know. Any more details regarding your issue will be very useful.
