Can I download and install the pre-ICS, full desktop version of firefox to use as my browser with my lapdock (webtop mode)?
I just bought a lapdock to use with my droid 4 for work. Long story, but I needed internet access to get my work done, and there is none here. I thought this would be a great workaround. However, with the ICS update, the webtop mode of my phone does not feature the full desktop firefox that the old OS used. The mobile firefox works ok, but it is not fully compatible with the sites that I need to be working on.
So, basically, I'm looking for a way to use the firefox version that was featured in the webtop mode of motorola phones (maybe others too) and was web enabled to mimic a full laptop experience.
Does anyone know if there is a way to download the old desktop android webtop firefox onto my phone that I could then use from my app drawer whenever I am hooked up to my lapdock? It would make my life a million times easier - and is the main selling point of me buying the dock in the first place. I hope that someone has a way for me to get this done. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, kbrosnan. That makes sense. Disappointing, but it makes sense.

The lapdocks were running a 'normal' ARM Linux install and just used the desktop Linux Firefox. The ARM Linux version of Desktop Firefox won't run on Android's Dalvik VM (Java). We did not do the customization for that Motorola did and last I heard they had stopped supporting lapdocks.
