I have a Lenovo Chromebook and Firefox will not download, I have tried doing this from the Play store and even though I click to "download to this device" it keeps downloading the mobile app, I really need the full app please.

The Firefox for Android is made for phones and tablets in mind and not laptops.

They other option if your Chromebook supports it is to install Linux version of Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos

You can use Flatpakor even the tarball builds from Mozilla. There are articles around on installing Firefox for Linux on Chromebooks.

Thank you, I'm in the UK so it's morning here and I'm at work. I will look at this as soon as I'm home. Thank you.
