- How to install Firefox on a Chromebook? In this tutorial, I show you how to get Firefox on your Chromebook without the Google Play. This means you can use Firefox rather than Chrome as your browser on a Chromebook. This Firefox installation works on all Chromebooks that support Linux including Intel, AMD, and ARM processors. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions while you install Firefox on your Chromebook.

4. Once the Linux Terminal opens, type the following command to ensure Linux is up-to-date on your Chromebook and hit enter.

A great help thank you so much. Tried other tutorials with many views but it didn't work. This video deserves more views and likes. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Following the directions in your description was fast, and simple. Writing this comment took longer.
Yes, the instructions were SUPER easy to follow; many thanks😃
I couldn’t find any other way to do it thanks bro good tutorial
A great help indeed. Since last few days I tried to install it from Google Play. But it was not working properly at all. Now after installing as you described it works fine. Thank you so much. Truly appreciate.
Glad to hear that!
Just tried it, couldn't have been any more clearer and it worked perfectly - AWESOME vid!
Great to hear! Enjoy!
Thank you! I have been using computers all my life but I've not spent any time learning about them, and other guides were not working for me. On top of that, I really dislike audio and just use subtitles when I can, which worked perfectly fine here! Great video.
Very helpful, and easy. Thank you for posting this!!
Thank you so much. I've been trying and failing to set up Flatpak for an hour before finding this. This is so much easier!
Same here! Flatpak is a real red herring and doesn't work.
Very good and straight forward. Thanks
This worked wonderfully!
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much! Im new to ChromeOS and Linux and there are some much needed medical sites that are not currently working with Chrome OS.
Excellent tutorial! Fantastic presentation! This method worked perfectly, Thank you so much, it was a big help.

Thanks very much. The video is helpful and clear, and without it and the detailed Linux commands I'd never have been able to install FF on my Chromebook. The written pages I'd previously found were overly complex and just didn't work. I need FF as I need to sync bookmarks and logins, accumulated over decades.
thank you for very helpful video!
Thanks really helped !
Amazing tutorial, THX very much! I have a question, is it possible to install Firefox Developer edition on a Chromebook?

Outstanding video! Way better that the Firefox solution. So there is a great upside to running Firefox via Linux and that is Microsoft 365 now works! MS Office is not compatible with the Chrome OS. So when I tried to access my Office 365 subscription thru the Chrome Browser my account would load but you could not edit any Office Docs. No problem now! Maybe another video idea??
Yay! Thank you. The Firefox app for Chromebook is borderline unusable. These instructions were easy enough for even me to follow 😉

Hi everyone, I had an error, found that as I chose 2GB for Linux space was not enough to process (my 16gb chromebook leaves only 9GB available space), extended to 3GB and was able to run the script. Hope this helps! Thanks for the Excellent Tutorial btw :-)

Firefox offers more privacy
@@GaugingGadgets I have a hard time buying that...If you're using a Chromebook, Google already knows "all about you" anyway, don't they?. Maybe we can agree to disagree about our choice of browsers...and still both make fun of Bjng?
@@jm131719 I agree but Google is not the only thing to be concerned about from a privacy perspective. Firefox allows for more customization that can improve that kind of privacy.
Yes I like Firefox because of the add-ons. A tutorial on on installing libreoffice might be quite a popular
@@MrWaynemarshall Thanks for the idea!
I was bored
