my samsung galaxy ace s5830 had a cyanogen mod version 10.2 (compareable to android 4.2.2). but this was not compatible with the actual ff version for android. then i upgraded to cyanogen mod version 11.1 (compareable to android 4.4.4. kitkat). but still the actual ff version for android is not compatible wirh this hardware/software-configuration. the download in google play store is always denied.

my questions are: is ff generally running on cyanogen mod versions (custom rom) with my samsung galaxy ace s 5830? if not, which is the lowest (oldest) "samsung galaxy s"-series, where i can download ff for android, and what android version do i need at least?

thanks a lot for your kind help!

with kind regards,

This old phone from 2011 has a ARMv6 type of cpu which is no longer supported.

as of Firefox 31.0 the support for ARMv6 was dropped as only ARMv7 and Intel x86 is supported.

Firefox will run on any Android phone running Android 2.3 or newer with an ARMv7 or x86 CPU. A galaxy s3 or s4 will have much better performance.
