Can we install Firefox on the Lumia phones with windows 10?

Well the title pretty well said it all.

My Lumia has Edge for a browser and that's it.

I haven't, so far, found a way to get Edge to import favorites / bookmarks.
It did synch passwords but nothing else. No favorites.

Thought I would like to put Firefox on if possible.

The thing is, No way and yes way.

Lumia runs Windows 10 Mobile and not Windows 10.

And Firefox for Windows Mobile is not available.

However there is a way to install Firefox app from Android onto your Windows Mobile device If you developer unlock your phone in the settings and install "Firefox.apk" with specific software you can find on the web. I did not try with Firefox, but I tried Opera and it worked pretty well.

Anyway another thing is I wouldn't recommend doing this just yet as this option is really in it's Alpha stage and doing so may mess up your phone. My phone did start to behave weird after it.

Maybe it will work when they improve project Astoria (Android to Windows Mobile) apps. It's not even officially out. It would still be better to get a Native Windows Mobile app.

Thanks for the reply.

Basically, the answer is no. :eck:

Looks like my best bet is to just wait for another release and hope.
