I just bought a new windows 8 tablet, and I need to use firefox for my school programs and things but when I try to download it the tablet says that there is no app for this and then sends me to the app store. I have searched the app store and found nothing. Is there a way at all for me to download firefox?

hello lesliepotts1211, due to microsoft's restrictive policies, firefox can't be made available for windows RT devices unfortunately...
