I downloaded and tried to install Firefox for Android on my Toshiba Thrive. It seemed to install, but when I hit the Icon to open browser it just installs again. I guess it's not ready for the thrive. The Firefox Icon is on my screen but when I press it

Hmm it uses Android 3.1 and a NVIDIA Tegra 2 which is a ARMv7 cpu so the mobile Firefox technically should work.

Wait you mention Firefox firefox-5.0-1.tar.bz2 as is that what you are trying to install or are you trying to install the Android version either from Android market or from Mozilla ?

There was no 5.0.1 version for the mobile Firefox on Android as it was not needed.
