I currently run MS10. I do not like MS software but use its OS. I do not want to use MS11 when MS10 is no longer provided with security upgrades by microsoft. Will Mozilla Firefox browser run without problems on either Linux or ChromeOSFlex? If so, which OS is recommended by this community?

Hi

I cannot speak for ChroneOS Flex, but Firefox can be installed and run quite happily on ChromeOS.

With regards to Linux, that is very much not a problem. Firefox is the default browser for many distributions and in the unlikely event it is not ready to go when you install Linux, it is very easy to add Firefox later. I use Debian 12 myself where the Extended Support Release version of Firefox is the default browser it it works perfectly fine.

I hope that this helps.

Besides using Firefox in Linux support, you may also be able to use the Firefox for Android version depending on hardware.
