I own a Padigital Planet Android tablet, which can not use Google's Android Market, but the only link for Firefox for Android points to Google's Market.

Hi,

The Pandigital Planet tablet doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Firefox Mobile support and isn't currently listed as a supported device. For minimum requirements, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device

Following is a direct link to the application, but note that you may not receive update notices in the future so you'll have to keep Firefox up-to-date manually (if it is even compatible, which I believe it is not). http://bit.ly/fennecftp

Thanks, Michelle

I know a number of the Padigital tablets are using the older ARMv6 cpu's and and many have Android 1.5 also.
