Firefox for Android Support Forum

I have plugins enabled in Firefox 14.0 on my Motorola Atrix and also have Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.10 installed, but Flash doesn't load in Firefox. Instead, I get the error message: "A plugin is needed to display this content." Switching my plugin setting to "Tap to play" instead of Enabled doesn't solve the problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled both Flash and Firefox, but that didn't solve the problem either. I can, however, get Flash to load for the same website in Dolphin HD. The website I have been trying today is http://www.greatamericanrestaurants.com/Carlyle/.

I'm a little unclear about whether I need the product called Adobe Flash Player in order to view Flash content in FF Android, or if Flash support is built into the browser. My device came with Flash Player installed in ROM, but updates go to RAM and can't be moved to SD storage. Right now version 11.1 it's the largest app on my phone. I'm trying to determine whether I can remove it or not. IE if I uninstall Flash Player, will FF still play Flash content, or does it rely on Adobe's app for this functionality? Thanks.

I use firefox on my desktop and notebook so iwould like to use it on my new Acer A500 tablet. I would like to remove addons/widgets that I dont need such as Amazon and Twitter search addons. Can you tell me how to do this please?

Acer Android tablet ... the videos in question play on the default browser that came with the tablet, but not in Firefox. The notice doesn't say what plugin. I have downloaded and installed Flash, but that didn't fix it.

Does the Firefox Mobile for Android support the Java machine to run Java applet? For example, Some web mail system works by using the Java applet. I found lots of mobile browser doesn't support it. Firefox Mobile is designed to be the same as Firefox Desktop. How much support of Java applet does Firefox Mobile done now?

On android tablet, I need to visit certain websites which require Shockwave flash plug-in to receive web contents created in Adobe Doctor. So, when the same will be made available for your Firefox android version ?

Hi,

there are several addons for desktop firefox that I would like to use with my mobile firefox (android 4). Is it possible to make them compatible for mobile firefox?

Thanks for help!

Hi there, I am desperately trying to find a solution for this. I want to create a user style for a website because it looks like a mess on mobile browsers. I've already done this on my desktop browser, then uploaded it to userstyles.org.

Now I tried to install Stylish on my mobile Firefox (10.0.5 and the new Beta Firefox 14.0b6 I think). While this already didn't work perfectly (probably not supported, but I thought mobile and desktop FF's are starting to merge?), I managed to install it somehow. Now I still can't install a userstyle because it won't detect the addon (I changed the user agent to something desktop-ish). I also tried it with a greasemonkey script, but I'm also stuck there.

..Help?

I downloaded the cloud viewer add-on for Firefox on my tablet. I am running Android 4 (ICS). I need to be able to open PDF files directly in the browser window, as the site will not allow me to download the files and open in an independant viewer. Is there any way to do this in Firefox?

bold textAfter downloading Firefox download helper addon from http://www.freeware4android.net/samsung-gt-p7100-galaxy-tab-10-1-device-2001/helper-apps-firefox-addon-get-26209.html , where can I find it it in the Firefox screen and can use it to download videos, please?

I pushed the download button on the mobile add on and it installs just a short cut of the add on on my computer. I then try and install and it says windows can not open this file. Can you please help me?

Thank you for your time!

I'm using an Asus Transformer tf101. I updated Nightly today and now flash does not work in the program. Once I attempt to play any flash video, the program crashes and it crashes one or two more times after that before I can use it again. I disabled all my plugins and cold booted but to no avail. Another issue I am having is that it sometimes freezes on the home screen on startup. This instance usually happens after I try to type an address or use a bookmark. The only way I found around it was to tap one of the three top site icons first. Does anyone have a solution to this?

edit: I have reverted back to the previous build for now. It isn't as nice as the latest version's style but it plays flash video better than the other mobile browsers out there. Controls like pausing, skipping ahead or putting video to full screen are still hit or miss though.
