Why don't you guys have a phone number so I can talk to someone? I can't summarise this in one sentence!
I want to have Firefox as an alternative email site on my new smart phone (LG - P930 Android) but according to the phone I need the following info to set this up. Is it POP3 or IMAP account email address Protocol type POP3/IMAP4 Incoming server - server address Secure type - TLS/SSL/off Incoming server number I have had to sign up with gmail since this is an LG unit but I want to be able to get my Firefox emails on it just like on my laptop.

Although you access your email through Firefox, your account is actually hosted on someone else's web site. Different email hosts have different policies about whether you can access your mail through an email program, such as the Android email program, or whether you always have to use a browser.
Firefox is a web browser and not a email client like Thunderbird.
I should have included this in my post: your mail host usually has a help page explaining how to get POP3 or IMAP access to your mail, if they allow it. If you can't find that page, you could post your mail provider here and someone might be able to help you find it.
