Help Mozilla Firefox mobile not compatible

[tuukka87]

The browser came out today for android, but it's shows up in the marketplace and says not compatible with your phone. Why ?

I'm having the same problem on my Droid 1 that it isn't compatible with my phone....

The optimus v and droid 1 do not have big enough processors to handle Firefox

ARMv6 (experimental) Sorry, the experimental ARMv6 builds are no longer available. They contained bugs that caused them to crash immediately, so they were no longer useful for testing.
While we'd like Firefox to run on as many phones as possible, we are focusing first on devices that can run current versions of Firefox with acceptable performance. As we improve Firefox's speed and memory use, it might become possible for us to support ARMv6 phones in the future, but we are not actively working on it now.

It's the same reason flash doesn't work, it requires a armv7 cpu and this phone has a armv6.

Good to know. This will save me the trouble of repeatedly checking back with Firefox to see if they've got it available yet, now that I know that the V just isn't compatible. *ptht* Oh well.

Flash seems to work fine on my stock Droid1. But not Firefox, the prior versions would lock up, and now the android market tells me my device isn't compatible so I can't test later FF versions.

Because Firefox stopped supporting ARM6s.
