Hi,

I tried to install Firefox browser on my Arnova 7C G2. But, when I started app, "Force close" appears. I tried almost all versions (from 4.0 up to 10.0) for android, and no success.

I need Firefox to check my WebMail since our mail server supports only this browser and IE.

Thanks in advance.

you should use adb logcat, and see what error you get, and after that forword`it to the developer from firefox.

This is logcat content when I tried to start Firefox:

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I just bought it 10 days ago. And I am a novice with Android devices and apps. 🙂

What the term "rooted" means? I didn't change firmware yet.

Great, thanks. If Firefox runs on your device, I will check how to make my device "rooted".

the official statement for arnova device

This app is incompatible with your FOXDA AN7CG2.

also from mozzila`s page

These devices have ARMv6 processors and are not compatible with Firefox for Android. We are working on ARMv6 support:

arnova 7cg2 is a arm6 processor bassed

i`m gonna try now some versions

Thanks for your effort.

Yes, I tried Opera and Dolphin but mail server always respond that works only with Firefox and IE!!!????!!!?!?!

On my Blackberry, browser has an option to setup browser identification to Firefox and it works for company webmail, but it's very difficult to chech mail on this small screen.

I tried to find this option in Opera and Dolphin, but without success. If you know some browser with this option, please, send me.

Anyway, thanks a lot for support. Is there any reward points on this forum?

I found something, but i have to try this today. Hidden settings in android browser openned through command in address field with "about:useragent" where I can set UserAgent ID.
