Hello,

Were you able to locate Firefox on the Google play store? You can install Firefox by checking for Firefox on the play store and seeing whether it is supported on the Note-3 or not (I think it is, but better to be sure). You can also visit this link Firefox on Google Play Store to look for support of Firefox on Note-3.

Hope this helps.

Hi ABUABDULLAH

gnittala (thanks @g!) is correct. i have a Galaxy Note 3 and Firefox for Android from the Google play store runs without issues. No need to root it. Just install it like a normal app.

Closing this thread. Please create a new question thread if you run into issues

ooops my apologies ABUABDULLAH

you were talking about Firefox OS not Firefox for Android (hat tip to toddy_victor for telling me !)

anyhow firefox os might work on your Note 3 but it will require lots of technical knowledge, i wouldn't recommend it!

Instead try it on the firefox os app manager: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/10/introducing-the-firefox-os-app-manager/

we only support firefox os on released devices (there are unsupported hacks for the nexus 4 and many other devices that you can find by googling but again they are unsupported and only for those who love geeking about :-) !)

Cheers!

p.s. re-closing this thread, if you have questions about unsupported installs of Firefox OS please ask them on stack overflow and tag it "firefox os"
