Firefox for LG Vu Plus (GR700) Phone?

The phone is old, but it is really pocket-sized and very durable and has a slide-out keyboard, perfect for throwbacks like me. ATT just gave me FREE internet on it, but it only has this ATT NET browser that doesn't really understand HTML. Is there a way to put Firefox OS or something like that on it? I found YouTube videos of teenagers claiming to hack these phones, mostly grabbing themes and games, one person says he runs Opera Mini. I would prefer some kind of Firefox browser.

It seem to be that you should check directly with mozilla.org, in particular http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/partners/, to see if there's anything which fits your situation and desire.

Thanks, I did look at that page. It is Mozilla's business partners who are now releasing new phones that have the Firefox browser installed. I have an old phone and I don't know if and how I can install Firefox on it. I guess I can call LG tomorrow, but I doubt anyone at the consumer level of support would have an answer. The phone has been discontinued for years.

You might try Mozilla's support page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/?icn=tabz
or go directly to asking your question at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new .

There are also Mozilla user groups out in cyberspace which could be Googled, in addition to Firefox's Twitter and Facebook accounts (if you're so inclined).
