Hello,

I'm a dedicated Firefox user and am so grateful for this amazing product and the team that keeps it running.

I recently caved and got a Chromebook but only because I was convinced that I could install the full desktop version of Firefox on it via Linux.

However, i haven't been successful when following the steps on Mozilla's site. My brand new Chromebook is running Chrome 87.0

I was able to install flatpak but not the repositories. I tried a workaround by trying to install Firefox ESR (not my preference) and hit a 404 error with that too.

I have no experience with Linux, so I'm very ignorant about how to enter commands. But I have been typing the instructed commands in verbatim (and yes I'm sure they are accurate) and I keep getting failures.

I'm wondering if there has been a change from flatpak or chrome or firefox that requires udpated installation instructions?

I'm very grateful for any help you can provide.

Thank you, Jennifer

Is this an ARM chromebook or an Intel/AMD chromebook?
