Now that Chrome on ChromeBook no longer allows access to what it thinks is an unsafe wifi but is a secure wifi (I call this the Trump Loop - it ignores reason and actuality and creates its own incorrect falsehood as reality and sticks to it irrespective of facts to the contrary), is there a full offline installer of Firefox for this platform? It is to get over the infinite loop effect - which you do not get with Firefox, now that chrome on the desktop does the same thing now. We have a large population of ChromeBooks, none of which can be used, and Google have not even dignified themselves with an answer (Asked 1 year ago!) - whereby a fudged ChromeBook with Firefox makes the unit usable again.

There is no version of Firefox for the Chrome OS itself.

You may be able to run the Android Firefox. There is also the possibility of dual booting with a Linux distro or if you have amore recent Chromebook you mayhave a Linux VM feature to be able to use Linux Firefox.
