Hello,

I downloaded firefox browser onto my new chrome book. But when I tried to open it to install,it says select an app to open this file, and long list of apps appears. i.e. google drive, docs, youtube etc. Is there away around that or do I have to install another app in order to open the browser.

Thank you.

Todd.

You may have a few options depending on what hardware and ChromeOS you have.

You may be clicking on the wrong file. Your unzipped folder should be similar to mine and you need to run the file in the screenshot.
