I'm helping a new user and suggested she add Firefox to her machine. It turns out that she has a Chrome book and they are trying to charge her $9.95 to download a version of Firefox that they won't erase. Is this illegal or just more of Google-salesmanship?

Firefox has no control what chrome aps store charges or what their fees are. You need to take that up with chrome aps store support on that.

Depending on hardware and ChromeOS version you have, you can install the Firefox for Android or the (desktop) Firefox for Linux. There are articles around including https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos

Both options are 100% free to install and use.

The Chrome web store only has some Chrome extensions and no Firefox web browser listed. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/Firefox

Where are you seeing the $9.95 charge as I wonder if the site itself was even legit.
