side bars not accessible FF 4.0b2 on Toshiba AC100 (Android 2.2)

Having now got FF installed, albeit not the latest beta, I have a couple of issues.

1. The AC100 does not have a touch screen, so the swipe left/right gestures on my HTC Desire, which bring the side bars on to the screen, can't be used.

2. Page navigation using arrow keys is not working.

3. Pressing the 'Menu' button brings up the 'Site Options' dialogue, instead of 'Site Options' + 'Preferences' + 'Add-ons' + 'Downloads'.

Chosen solution

Does the AC100 have a mouse or trackpad? If so, you should be able to click and dragg to scroll the page and the sidebars. We haven't tested on this device, however.

The "Menu" button changed in later betas. It sounds like you have a very old version. You can download the latest APK file from http://bit.ly/fxmobilebeta if your device allows non-Market app installation.

Great, thanks very much, installing that one removed most of the annoyances, pgup & pgdn still aren't working, but that's a minor irritation.

Why the Toshiba Market still has the old beta, lord only knows.

Now to find out how to scale everything much smaller, so I can use its 10.1" screen to best effect.

Now that FF4 is now out of beta, if you can't get it via the market, go here
