I'm using a HUAWEI U8230 Android Device Using Android 2.1 when I go to Get the beta by going to Firefox.com/m/beta or bu using a QR reader I get the same message.

It takes me to the download page where I can select either Download for Android Free Beta Version or Download for Maemo free Beta Version.

I select the Download for Android Free Beta Version and I am given The requested item could not be found. OK

If this is meant to work for Android devices on Android 2.0+ then surely the the requested item should should be there for installation, unless you have removed it and updated your website?

The link to download Firefox from the Android Market will not work on phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is compatible here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.

Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly from here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/

(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)
