Hello , When i go to the market i clic the download.button. I wait à feu seconds then the button is clickable again or it says download failed then the button is clickable again. Is there another place directly on internet to download it without going by the market ?

I've got a Samsung galaxy s i9000 and my operator is sfr France.

Thanks Matt

You can also download the APK file directly from our FTP server: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0rc1/android-r7/multi/

For other users who find this question, please make sure your phone is compatible before trying to install Firefox: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements

Will this apk version receive updates via Android Market? If not, how can I stay updated with latest releases?

Best Regards, SAM

You will not receive automatic updates if you download the Firefox APK manually, without using the Market. You will need to update Firefox yourself when a new version is released by downloading the new version from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android.

If you download the "Fennec" nightly development build from that page, it will automatically update itself, but it might be less stable than the official Firefox release.
