Just downloaded Firefox for mobile on my brand new Samsung Captivate. When I attempt to install, I get the error message: "Install blocked. For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market."

Is there a work-around?

Unfortunately, AT&T does not allow installation of non-Market apps on any of its Android phones.

You can find instructions online for using the "adb" developer tool to install non-Market apps, or you can wait for an upcoming beta release of Firefox which will be distributed through the Android Market, probably within the next month.
