I want to ad the Chillglobal ADD-ON to my LG Smart TV WebOs 2.x but I cannot install Firefox on my TV. So I want to solve it to run Firefox from a Flashdrive. Question is if I can install the Firefox on a Flashdrive and how?

Chosen solution

The question was to put the Firefox on a Flashdrive and connecting the drive then with the Lg Smart TV

It still wouldn't work. WebOS isn't supported by Firefox.

The desktop Firefox is only for Windows, Mac OPSX, and Linux. The mobile Firefox is for Android and more recently as a shell browser for iOS.

There is no version of Firefox from Mozilla for the WebOS tv's.

There is the FirefoxOS for some Panasonic tv's and you may be able to use Android Firefox on some devices that is not a phone/tablet.

The https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chillglobal/ is only for desktop Firefox.

There is two main things that makes a difference on whether a version of Firefox will work on a device. The OS it uses and the CPU it uses.

Even if the CPU is something a version of Firefox (whether official or third-party build) can run on, the WebOS is something Firefox has not been made to work on.

I told you there was no version of Firefox for WebOS.
