Firefox Browser - Galaxy Ace S5830i General

Hey Galaxy Ace I Users,
I only want to share some good news - Firefox has released their browser officially for our phone. You are able to get Firefox at the Play Store if you like to.

Edit your topic to "Firefox Browser". Such headers give us false hopes. And there was no need to say that by creating a new thread. You could have Shared it in the off topic thread. Anyway, Goodnews
If this thing will boot , I'll root.

In CM 7 dont work

Works fine using GDX. Also, "dont work" isn't very descriptive.

That's a bit far fetched.
And Firefox always stood for Firefox Browser, just because Firefox OS got released a while ago doesn't mean the Browser should be explicitly specified as such.
I mean, am I supposed to say "Normal squared glass windows" every time I talk about my apartment's windows just so people don't think I'm talking about MS Windows? Use common sense.

It's not a lightweight browser, just because it doesn't fit your needs doesn't mean Mozilla is crazy.
Also, Chrome is around 20-25 MB as well, FYI.

I tried the browser but it was too laggy on our phone so I deleted.
And the newest opera browser is 20mb too.

I use it every day on my phone without problems

20.95MB (APK) + 2.24MB (Dex) + ~0.3MB (Lib).
There was an issue (?) in the FF nightlies where the data size would climb to ~20MB, not sure if it's still the case. Currently it's about 3MB on my phone.

Firefox is not good browser for me. im just an experianced Android user and I do not recommend Mozila browser. just for an example go to xda web page and on the 'search for your phone' box just type something and you will get no suggestions. I really dont like it at all thats one of the reasons why i do not recommend it. sorrrry

Somebody please get this up and going for the xoom
I was about to side load it....see how that goes.
XOOM
Why bother? It's a POS compared to WordFeud.
I was just going to install this when I noticed the app doesn't install on Xoom. I must say this makes me really disappointed and brings a huge spotlight to splintered status of Android.
That said, I find it hard to blame Google solely. I much rather blame EA. Its not like they couldn't have made the app work on both platforms.

I side-loaded it. It works but not great. It is 1/4 screen and has graphical issues in the unused space. The music sucks too. I haven't gotten to play a game yet but the game does seem to run and the HC3.2 full screen trick will probably handle the screen size issues.

Well, that's true! It looks really nice, and it is simple to use. There is just one problem that I found. Sometimes when there is an update for an app (don't know if it is random or some particular apps) there is no Update button, only Open button that will run that application. You can update that app only when you have two or more updates and update them all at the same time. Anyone experienced this?

But atleast try these things before posting about it here..
I mean whats the sense in just copying and pasting from random threads of other groups without even knowing the heck about it.
You know bro people here depend on the dev's . So just try to make it clear before directing other people to use it.
And the thing about blaming, it was only a point to make you better understand .

Best Browser (for full site experience/Flash)

Hi all,
Before the flaming starts, let me clarify. I love chrome. It's great. Tabbed browsing, chrome to phone and all. However, I enjoy using websites with either streaming content or video on demand. Unfortunately, it seems that Adobe isn't supporting Flash on android 4.0 and higher - and that's their prerogative. This does leave me with a void in my media consumption. Are there any browsers/codecs/something I don't know about which can help solve my internet video problem?
[For example, teamliquid.net]
thanks
Try the browser.apk for AOSP. Even supports flash if installed
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Could care less if I get "flamed"....until chrome has a setting for desktop by default and displays full screen it sucks.
Many of the browsers don't work well on the Nexus 7.Aosp browser: can't access its menu (at least the apk I have, and the one on Paul Obriens Rom.
Boat browser (my alltime fav...will have an update soon...but it's not ready). Dolphin Lite seems to be ok..for now just not real quick.

Actually I've found that the Maxthon browser (built by XDA dudes)...works pretty well.

I cant get Dolphin to work flash at all on my Nexus. I installed the flash apk floating around too, but nothing. Does yours work on putlocker? Did you update to the new version of Dolphin that came out yesterday (i think) that disables flash?
I have been using Xscope pro 7 with flash and it works perfect for me, also has a check box for displaying site in desktop mode and it doesnt reset every time you have to reboot.
I've been using xscope or about 3 years now and it download anything I throw at it, the newest iteration is design with the nexus 7 in mind.
Firefox works fine for me with good flash integration. Synched to all my other machines.

Using file explorer like ES File Explorer, just click on the file to install. It's ask you to change setting, allowing installation of apps from unknown source (if it's not already checked).

You can just google "firefox 14.0.1 apk" (14.0.1 is the latest version).
If you don't want to bother side loading, you can try Firefox Beta (Play Store link). It is compatible with N7 and installs directly from Play Store.

It isn't really an American thing, it's a "didn't read it before posting" thing. The phrase makes absolutely no sense. I've never heard anyone say "I could care less" in an actual conversation, it's like they know how ridiculous it sounds when they say it, but that same censor doesn't come out when typing.

Just wanted to let all Nexus 7 owners know...

It seems Dolphin has disabled Flash. I tried to turn it on some time back and it gave some message about HTML5 and flash causing your browser to crash. I was just reminded of this a few minutes ago and wanted to update anyone who is interested. Anyway, I had side loaded Adobe flash some time back and it is still working on Mozilla Firefox. Not sure what other browsers support it except for Frost lite. Hopefully I posted this under the right topic because all of my posts always get moved, lol. I am not rooted because I like the way everything is currently and have no real need to root. So, I guess it seems dumb for me to post this seeing most on here are probably rooted? God bless!
As you can see it no longer allows you to turn it on.

This is old news I believe, I'm fairly certain Dolphin has disabled flash for months now.
Best bet for flash is the AOSP browser. At the same time, though, I feel that if a site still uses Flash, they don't deserve my clicks
