It means there's some people somewhere(China) that are trying to sell Firefox and Google products, which would otherwise be free. Not only is this illegal, copyright infringement, is that these "FoxFire" or "Firefox Lite" or whatevers may well have been modified and could be malicious, like they could in fact be spying on you and sending all your private stuff to China.

If you see Firefox and Google products on Amazon and the developers are not named as Firefox or Mozilla or Google Inc. especially if they're charging money, be suspicious and report it to Amazon if you can.

Wait, I think you've got these mixed up. ES File Explorer's URL is estrongs.com, not the FoxFire app...

With this in mind, what does it mean?

Ok got things mixed up a bit there. :) However for the FoxFire and the Firefox Lite and all the Google apps coming from "Ap Developers and Designers", whoever they are? Still be suspicious though. Firefox comes from Mozilla, and is listed as such, Same with the Google apps, they come from Google Inc. and they don't charge for them. I would report it myself, but I don't have an Amazon account as I'm not in the United States.

On the whole installing apps from reputable app stores like Amazon and Google is perfectly safe. However the odd rogues do get through the system, they don't vet and curate everything. If there's anything truly illegal and/or malicious, both Amazon and Google can and do remove them.

Thanks, but what about this: http://www.amazon.com/Ap-Developers-And-Designers-FoxFire/dp/B00ELHHW72/

I submitted a complaint last week and it's still online...
 
I just installed Plex on my Moto G. It didn't update my library on my phone on first few attempts until I restarted my phone (if I enter the title manually, it finds it though, but won't stay in my library.), but now it seems to be working fine. It really helps as my phone is a 8GB model. :)


UPDATE: I just used ES File Explorer as that's the file manager I use anyway. Very easy to setup. It's almost automatic. Works really well.
