I have been trying to install Firefox onto my Chromebook. When I enter "sudo apt install firefox" it says "E: Package 'firefox' has no installation candidate"

I believe we only support flatpack for chromebooks.

Though besides flatpak you can also use the firefox-128.0.3.deb or firefox-128.0.3.tar.bz2 from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/128.0.3/linux-x86_64/en-US/

The tar is basically a archive as you just extract into a folder and run Firefox. You need to make sure the user has read/write permissions for the Firefox folder to get updates from Mozilla.

Also the Chromebook needs to have a Intel or AMD CPU and not a ARM based device.
