I have an Android device without access to the Market, but would still like to evaluate the mobile version of Firefox. I need access to a static download link to the .apk so I can manually install it.

To download Firefox for Android directly from our FTP servers, see the directions here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

The Android Market, which is not available on all Android devices, shouldn't be a prerequisite to installing Firefox Mobile. It took 15 minutes to find this post — too long!

Please put an "alternate download link" or "for those without the Android Market" somewhere on Firefox Mobile's main download pages!

This link is invalid. Please make it easy to download directly, or make it available in the Amazon appstore for Android. I am on a Viewsonic gTablet and do not have the Android market.
