What version of Android is installed on your tablet?

Firefox for Android supports Android 5 and above and will install on the tablet. Yes, the tablet experience could be improved and we are looking into this, but you should bf able to still use Firefox for Android on your Android tablet device.

Firefox for Android should adapt to the additional pixels available on your tablet and give you a more detailed UI. What happens when you run it on your tablet? Or does it refuse to install?

Hi

Firefox for Android does install and run on Android tablets (I was using it earlier today). We are aware that the interface could use some work and it is something that our developers are looking into.

You can follow progress on this and add comments at:

What happens if you go to the Google Play store on your tablet and try to install Firefox. It's not there, or is there an error during installation? Or you don't like the experience? The bug Paul linked to is for work underway to improve the experience.

So you do not see Firefox in Google Play from your tablet? That is strange. I wonder whether there is a System Requirements issue.

If you need to toggle a page from mobile view to desktop view, you can use the menu. Can that be made permanent? I don't know.

I'm not aware of a special edition of Firefox for Samsung. Do you see it listed in the Google Play store, or is it in the Galaxy Store?
