I downloaded Firefox Mobile to my Samsung Fascinate. I had no problem with the download or installation. When I tried to do a search, all I got was a blank screen in the Firefox window. The Samsung Fascinate is set up to run only Bing. It does not like doing Google searches. When I try to force it to do a Google search through the existing Bing browser, I get the search result, but when I go to a site, none of the buttons work. In Firefox Mobile, I just get a blank white box in the Firefox window.

Thanks for the report. We haven't heard of this problem from anyone else before, and I'm not sure what might cause it. Can you try uninstalling the Firefox beta, and install the latest nightly build instead? If you do, please let us know whether you still see the same problem.

I downloaded and installed the nightly build. This version works fine on my Samsung Fascinate. I had no problem doing searches and saving bookmarks. The searches were amazingly fast also. Will I need to uninstall this version at some point and install a new copy of Firefox Mobile?

You can continue using nightly builds without uninstalling. Fennec will offer to download a new nightly build whenever one is available.

If you want to switch to a release version of Firefox, then you will need to uninstall the nightly build first. This will reset your history/bookmarks/settings.

We are planning to release Firefox 4 beta 2 for Android later this week, so if you prefer to run an official release then you might to wait a few days and install that one.
