Hi, I'm a web developer and I'd like to make my application accessible also from tablet. I tried the website with both default android Browser and Firefox browser; I saw that Firefox it is much more user friendly to touch and fast. In the website there is a form with a file upload field that is supposed to be used with images; the default android Browser gives the user the possibility to choose the camera, take the picture, and then select it for the upload. I'd like to know if there is the possibility to configure somewhere Firefox to add the Camera option with Astro and OpenOfficeDoc. Do you think is possible? Or do you know how this could be realized?

Thank you in advance. Federica

Interesting! I think there is a different site to offer feature suggestions for different Mozilla products, but I'm not sure where the Android one is. (I'm assuming that the option isn't available yet...)

Thank you for the answer. So how do you think this could be solved? With an adroid implementation or a firefox plugin? or what else? Just to know a possible solution...

Are you asking about https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Using_the_Camera_API ? This uses the system camera directly.
