How do I get FireFox to work on the first version of the Google ChromeBook? Everytime I open it it says update or upgrade to FireFox and make it your main page. So I downloaded it and it's set to open as soon as it's installed, but then a message pops up that says "Does not support" look for an app that supports FireFox and its software or something along those lines....I sat here with a full battery when I started and now it's dead.....and I still have no FireFox on my ChromeBook. 

What do I do now or how do I get it to work? And if it just simply won't work on a CHromeBook then they need to have that riht out in the open.

Hi

I have had a look into this and have been advised that Firefox will not run on the Chrome operating system.

It is designed and made a little differently from the likes of Windows and Linux and will not support a different browser being installed.

The desktop Firefox from mozilla.org is only for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. The mobile Firefox is only for Android 2.3+ on ARMv7 and Intel cpu's.

There has been no version of Firefox from Mozilla for the ChromeBook as it uses the Chrome OS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_OS

Some ChromeBooks depending on hardware may be possible to dual boot with a Linux distro in order to browsers like Firefox and SeaMonkey but it will not be fast.

I just want to thank you for looking into this issue for me, I couldn't figure it out for the life of me lol and I'm a 2 time grad of Specs Howard. 

I do however have a new MacBook and an HP ProBook so I'm not hurting.....the Chrome Book is just a little easier to reach for to do some of the things I need to do as far as editing and whatnot.

Thank you for your time and consideration 

      Sincerely,

Jeffrey M. Selfridge
