Frequently asked questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why do I need a Payments PIN? | A PIN protects you from unintended purchases. Some carriers don't require a PIN if you make your first purchase over a data connection. Please check with your carrier to see if this is the case with your service. |
| Why am I being asked to confirm my mobile number? | A mobile number is used to identify you for carrier billing to prevent others from making unauthorized purchases. |
| How do I unlink my saved credit card from my account? | Contact support@mozilla.com to remove your credit card. |
| I don't like the app I bought. Can I get a refund? |
|
| I reset my phone to factory standard. How do I get my paid apps back on my phone? | Log in to your Marketplace account and go to My Apps to see all the apps you've previously installed through your account. Install the apps you want. For in-app purchases, please contact the app developer. If the app you want isn't listed, contact support@mozilla.com. |
| I don't see any paid apps on Marketplace. | Payments may not be supported for your region/carrier yet. Please check back in a bit. |
| I bought an app on my Firefox OS device. Can I install that app on my Android device? | Yes! Log in to your Android device using the same account you used on your Firefox OS device. Go to My Apps on your Android device to see the app library and install the app from there. |
| Can I pay for apps using PayPal? | Not yet. We are continually considering new payment providers so please check back. |
