Two problems... have not been able to use firefox on any android device with any success. very frustrated as I want to love it.

Firefox sync connected. Sync says it is successful, but no bookmarks on my tablet.

Second, can't type in any form or input in the browser. Every word disappears as I type, cursor jumps around everywhere. I use as alternative keyboard (SwiftKey) but this occurs when tried using the stock keyboard.

Constantly crashes. So far, the best pc browser... absolute worst on phone and tablet.

I have uninstalled and installed twice. opened with add-ons disabled on pc, no change. Have no add-ons on the mobile.

Asus Transformer TF101. on Android 4.0.3 and HTC Incredible on Gingerbread Firefox beta 13, no other version present

That response would be helpful, but it assumes that I haven't installed or tried to use a "stable" version (and to give you the benefit of the doubt... I didn't mention this either).

I have installed and tried three different versions of Firefox for Android on the phone and four versions (including the current "stable" version... not so stable in my experience) on the tablet since Firefox was released. I have had the serious issue with typing in input boxes with every version, and the bookmark issue on both the current "stable" and beta. Just uninstalled and reinstalled the current stable version this morning... had to switch to Opera Mobile to reply to this because I couldn't get FF to work and allow me to type this message.

Not that this crappy tablet might not be at fault... really don't know why it was one top five lists, I've had nothing but trouble with it and regret the purchase.

Maybe I'll just keep using Opera Mobile until Windows 8 is released. After years on Android, I'm switching to Windows 8 phone, tablet, etc. Android is broken (way too many issues to list here, and not the place either)
