Known Issues
These are some of the bugs in the latest builds. We are working on fixing them.
Installation and Add-ons:
- Adobe Flash and other plugins are not supported yet (bug 630007).
- Starting the app for the first time takes a while while it installs some files and sets up a profile. Later startup times are much faster.
- Firefox causes the Motorola Droid to freeze completely when loading certain web sites, or at other random times (bug 602252).
- Firefox causes the Nexus S to freeze completely when loading certain web sites or opening many tabs (bug 624652, fixed in Android 2.3.3).
- Firefox's JIT compiler is disabled on Samsung Galaxy S phones running Android 2.1 because of a bug in their 2.1 kernel, making Firefox slower than on other devices. Galaxy S phones already running Android 2.2 "Froyo" are not affected. (bug 601222, bug 603624).
User Interface:
• Copy and Paste do not yet work for text in web pages (bug 661388, fixed in Firefox 7 (Nightly)).
• The SwiftKey keyboard crashes when used with Firefox (bug 617298, fixed in Firefox 5).
