My HTC Explorer seems to have all the requirements for Firefox to be installed.

The screen resolution is 320 x 480 - more than the minimum spec. The Android version is 2.3.5. - higher than the version quoted. HTC Sense version 3.5

But when I try to install from Play Store, I get the message "Your device isn't compatible with this version".

Why not? Is there a version that IS compatible? And if so, where can I find it, and what, precisely, is it called?

hello CambridgeChris, even if it's not available through the google play store, you can download all versions of firefox for android dirctly from mozilla's FTP server. details are available at: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

however, since you device is rather low-spec and firefox on android is a full-fledged browser with its own rendering engine, it will require quite a lot of system resources - so you might not get the best experience out of it at your current setup...
