Firefox 4 for Android is now available.  This beta is available for '''ARMv7 only''', and requires '''Android 2.0 or higher'''.  Please check the [[#System Requirements|system requirements]] below to see if your device is compatible.


# Check the [[#System Requirements|system requirements]] below. This beta is available for '''ARMv7 only''', and requires '''Android 2.0 or higher'''.
You can install Firefox [https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox through the Android Market web site], or go to http://firefox.com/m on your phone.
# If you installed Firefox 4 beta 2 or earlier, please '''uninstall Firefox''' before installing the latest version.  This will erase your profile.  (This is because of a one-time change; future updates will not require you to uninstall and reinstall Firefox.)
# Point your phone's web browser to '''[http://firefox.com/m firefox.com/m]'''


If you have trouble installing Firefox from the Android Market link on that page, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/776415 this support article] for help.
If you have a compatible device without Android Market access, you can also download Firefox for Android [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0/android-r7/multi/ directly from our FTP server]. (Note: You will need to keep Firefox up to date yourself if you do not install it through the Market.)
