This was a WIN 10 but has been professionally upgraded to 11 two times with last just a week ago. I have run Firefox as chose browser for years. Now they keep bumping me off & back on Google. Have tried to ID Firefox as chosen but they don't seem to hear. Even with Firefox symbol on my screen, now I click on it and Google comes up. 

 Have tried downloading again without success.  Ff will not show up in a Program search.

What to do?????

Resolved Update: apparently cat cannot write to /etc. Resolved by using:

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources <<eof types: deb uris: https: packages.mozilla.org apt suites: mozilla components: main signed-by: etc keyrings packages.mozilla.org.asc eof < p></eof>

The instructions need updating!

_________________original problem (in case some one else needs the information)

I am following the instructions in section "Install Firefox from Mozilla Repository (Recommended)" at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos At step 4 I am receiving a permission denied error: "-bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources: Permission denied" I am not sure how to resolve or continue.

Last command and output:

username@penguin:~ cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources Types: deb URIs: https://packages.mozilla.org/apt Suites: mozilla Components: main Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc EOF -bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources: Permission denied

As my title says i cant move Firefox from desktop because it is *the* browser file not a shortcut, and every time i try to move it to any different folder it just creates a shortcut in said folder. I asked Copilot how to reinstall it, set it in actual search mode so i could have 100% reliable steps, nothing worked! >:ε

so im asking yall if there is a way to fix it, thanks in advance
