Firefox for Windows phone 8

[Fade_z]

thats unofficial

...does it have ANY kind of connection to Mozilla at all? Or is it just some guy taking the name?

just the name, I now have the app definitely the best third party app but not close to ie10 which is mediocre at best

When I try to install the Firefox app it gives me an error message telling me I don't have permission to download this app. This is on the U.K. store.
I'm wondering how the developer was able to get away with using the Firefox name and logo.

Same here do not have permission to download usa. most likely blocked by ms for copyright issues

Not true ... if you try to download xap file - it works well, so it is just closed beta ... I have installed it and it is OK, but no idea is it really "Firefox" based or not

Just send your e-mail (live id) to developer and you will get a download link to install it ...

Did you try SurfCube 3d browser? Its fun to use and customizable... The full paid version is great...

He has to give you permission first must wait for him to pm you.
And it is not blocked because its still a closed beta.

I don't understand what the issue is with IE? I like it alot, but could need some UI improvements.

Firefox Nightly Builds

that's what I've been running too with no issues.

that's what I've been running too with no issues.

Nice but the link is for Android version, and we are in a Windows Phone forum. Why to post an android thing in a WP forum?

for me that's really the only thing bothering me.. I don't care about syncing cookies or bookmarks with chrome etc like you can on chrome browser on iOS but just an good solid metro UI with all the buttons I need

I have never liked any non-standard browsers for Android or WP. I was shocked at how crappy UC Browser was. DL'ed it right after a very positive WP Central article thought the author and all the reviewers were on crack. I havent felt the need to try it again. I browse heavily too and the stock browser does the job.

Interesting. I actually think UC Browser for WP is rather good and prefer it over IE10. Obviously each person has their own tastes but I'd be interested in what you particularly dislike about UC Browser.

Without its extensions, Firefox is nothing. It's power resides on its addon ecosystem. I've been using Firefox exclusively for almost a decade and I hope it comes (with all of its addons!) to WP8 someday. But I think it will take a long time....if ever. VLC, on the other hand, is right around the corner. I can almost smell it. :smile:

I like UC but its good only for mobile sites. On desktop sites, it is always crashing for me.

Ill try it again to see if it has been updated. It was a long time ago when I tried it but the UI was bad in my opinion and I did not like how my favorites sites were displayed at all. I tried it for 5 minutes and uninstalled.
