DL with new Android update
Just got the new Android update today and tried to install FFmobile for my Mytouch 3G/HTC Magic? I used the the install for the ARMv6 build and it installs but when i try to use the browser a screen comes up and says 'installing libraries'. What does this mean? i also tried using the Android browser and my homepage would come up but when I tried to go to another, the same 'installing libraries' screen would come up. Any advice?

Hmm it is sounding like it could actually be a problem with the recent Android update.
Maybe you could ask on some Android forums like for example http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/

I could never get it to even install on my phone before the update. This time it actually got passed DL but I get this screen.
Thing is the ARMv6 (ARM11) are not really supported like the ARMv7

Hopefully the ARM11 gets supported better as chips like the Nvidia Tegra 2 is coming in new phones and tablets and they have a 3D version coming in spring.

Really, cause I knew that already, hence getting the nightly builds. And the ARM(11) as you called it includes v7. What I want to know also is what does "installing Libraries" mean.
Fennec needs to copy some Android system libraries to run. If you don't have enough space for them to be copied to then Firefox won't run. It also might be crashing on startup.
Would it best if the space is freed up on my phone or SD card? I tried transferring the App to my card but it didn't change.
