I also can not install FireFox on my android.
I went to play.google.com on the following address:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5tb3ppbGxhLmZpcmVmb3giXQ..

I waited for the progress, checking compatibility for your device to complete, and then I got this error message under the install button in the same window:
	
    This app is incompatible with your IDEA HTC HTC Wildfire S A510e.

Hi Musa,

Unfortunately your phone, the A510E is under our specified requirements currently for both Firefox and Firefox Beta (minimum: 800MHz/512MB RAM) and will not be able to run (as it's 600MHz/512MB).

Currently, you can try out Nightly or Aurora (http://nightly.mozilla.org), (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/) to test it out as we're looking to drop the requirements in the near future.
