SOme blogs show font size problems (EG tiny links that are hard to finger without extreme zoom)

"Does not work well on some phones"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 19.0
Pros
About as fast as the one built in.
Addons like the ones for the desktop.Cons
Weird issue with some Samsung Galaxy phones.
Summary
This app would be much better if it didn't render incorrectly when the orientation is changed.
-
"Why the Outdated User Reviews?"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 17.0
Pros
Now does Flash.
Cons
Still not as good as the desktop version. But what Android browser is?
Summary
Why does CNET continue to publish User Reviews for earlier versions of Firefox for Android? Many of the reviews here are not valid for Firefox 17.0, and may confuse readers seeing those reviews. The reviews here should only be for the product being discussed, not earlier versions of it.

"CRASHES phone"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 14.0.1
Pros
NONE on Mobile version ; Love desktop
Cons
Locked up phone twice had to pull battery to unlock phone.
-
"False Advertisement"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 10.0.5
Pros
Have no idea
Cons
IT DOESNT WORK ON ICS TABLETS!
Summary
They should say what is not compatible in the hype. Dont shoot fireworks off like its the best thing if it wont work on the newest devices?
-
"Disappointed"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 7.0.1
Pros
Firefox is my fave browser.
Cons
No Flash?!?
Summary
Firefox loses a lot of its appeal because of the lack of Flash. I usually have better luck with websites with Firefox for my desktop, but am planning to uninstall from phone.
-
"Slow and No flash"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 5.0
Pros
Really, there are none
Cons
As stated in the title, it is slow and does not include flash
Summary
You are better off sticking with the stock browser since it is faster, more stable, and gives flash support.
-
"Not ready for normal use"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 5.0
Pros
Its ok I guess.............
Cons
Buggy, a recourse hog like the desktop version, slow and feels awkward to use at times.
Summary
Its passable, and I'm really lowering standards here, but it needs more work to be as good as the built in browser or other ones like Dolphin.

Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 4.0

Test est est
Cons

"Tried it hated it droid x firefox version mid April '11"
Version: Mozilla Firefox for Android 4.0
Pros
Ran great for about 30 seconds...
Cons
Dogged the phone till it crashed. Pulled battery to reboot. This was the first time I've had to do a batt pull since I bought the fone in Jan '11.
Summary
Total time of use... about 3 minutes. Maybe I'll try it again a few versions from now.
