A msg says ~"dnld starting..." Then that msg fades after a couple of seconds while the download screen remains onscreen. Nothing happens, though. EVO4G w Froyo. All updates current. 216 MB internal storage available. Allow installation of non-mkt apps checked. Thanks. Q

Files on Android are downloaded in the background. You can swipe from the top of the screen to pull down the notification bar and see the download progress. When the download is finished, the progress bar is replaced by a "Download complete" notification, which you can tap to open the file.

Or you can press the "Menu" key in your phone's Browser app, then press "More" and choose "Downloads".

Thanks, m. 1) Pulling down notification bar didn't help, but 2) Menu/More/Downloads did reveal five Firefox downloads! Clicking on one led to installation. Source of the problem was that this download, unlike all previous Android downloads, didn't signal that download was complete and ready for install. I would never have gotten it installed w/o your Menu/More/Downloads tip. So, thanks again for that. But I wonder if all would-be Mobile Mozillans don't encounter the same obstacle????
