I am trying to download Firefox 5 for my brand new Samsung Galaxy S I9000, when I press install from the Android Market webpage it tells me This app is not compatible with your Samsung Galaxy S I9000 and then a text appears This app cannot be installed in the country of your device. I live in Uruguay South America and I use FF in all my desktops computers. Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks. Sincerely Ignacio

The two main things that you need for mobile Firefox to work is Android 2.0 and newer (which you have) and the cpu on phone/tablet has to be a ARM v7 type of cpu as the old ARM v6 will not work.

Acording to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements it is compatible and the 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, Hummingbird chipset is a ARM v7 type.
