Checked the Compatible Devices list and the Galaxy Precedent is not on it. However, my device uses Android version 2.2.2, which should be sufficient for compatibility, yet Google Play states "This app is incompatible with your device."

Why would this be, and is it possible to still download and use this app even though it says this?

We don't have this phone specifically blocked. Some older phones do not support a feature called OpenGL 2.0. These older phones only support 1.0 or 1.1

It is possible to check the phone's OpenGL version by installing an app called Quadrant Standard.

  • install Quadrant Standard and open the app
  • select the System Information item
  • select the second tab with a square with mountains (picture icon)
  • below the GPU (OpenGL) section there is a version line
  • it will say 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0

If it says 1.1 then the phone does not meet the Firefox minimum requirements.

If it says 2.0 then please provide the exact model number from the Android settings.

  • Go to the Android home screen
  • press the menu button
  • select the settings option
  • scroll down to about phone and select
  • The model number entry should be listed
