Trying to install Firefox through ChromeOS Linux from the official Mozilla Page. I'm following all the steps, but the terminal is telling me that the key is missing and there is no PGP data available for it. If anybody could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I attached a screenshot of the code when I try to install it.

I followed the advise and removed all the profiles from my laptop. (Copies are on an external hard drive.) And I used the download file from the Mozilla community site which is 490 KB versus the 375 KB download file from firefox.com just in case the smaller file was corrupted. But I still got the Profile Missing error message.

I am trying to simulate a laptop that has never used Firefox and so can't say that "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded.  It may be missing or inaccessible."  I uninstalled Firefox using the Installed Apps page. Can there be fragments of Firefox that I need to hunt down and remove? I also removed the Old Firefox Data folder from the desktop.

How can I successfully install Firefox? Then I will use my old profiles that contain all my bookmarks.

Installing the latest version of Firefox and Debian 13.

Following the instructions in the Mozilla Support document Install Firefox on Linux https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

Operating as Super User.

Chose the option Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions (recommended)

Steps 1, 2, and 3 worked exactly as expected with in a terminal and using bash.

Step 4 and 5, following the For Debian Trixie and Newer choice does not work. A lot of digging on the internet and found that the command beginning with cat <<eof needs to be cat the second part of this process has same issue. appling new information solved problem both statements now work. p></eof>


At this point you have a directory /etc/apt/keyrings. In this directory you have the file packages.mozilla.org.asc Step 3 returns success. You have also successfully applied steps 4 and 5. In directory /etc/apr/souces.list.d you have the file mozilla.sources.

It contains the instruction “Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.gpg”

No where in the previous stepd was the file Signed-By: packages.mozilla.org.gpg ever created.

Why is the deb package looking in /usr/share/keyrings when step 2 puts a similarly named file Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc in /etc/apt/keyrings

Step 6

Running apt update returns

Err:4 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla InRelease  Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Error: Failed to parse keyr ing "/usr/share/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.gpg"  Caused by:     0: Reading "/usr/share/keyrings/p ackages.mozilla.org.gpg": No such file or directory (os error 2)     1: No such file or directory (o s error 2) Warning: OpenPGP signature verification failed: https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla InRelease: Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Error: Failed to parse keyrin g "/usr/share/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.gpg"  Caused by:     0: Reading "/usr/share/keyrings/pac kages.mozilla.org.gpg": No such file or directory (os error 2)     1: No such file or directory (os error 2) Error: The repository 'https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla InRelease' is not signed.

When I use “winget install ... -l ...” to install Firefox, the installation "disappears"

The full winget command is: ```pwsh winget install --id Mozilla.Firefox.zh-CN -s winget -e -i -l D:/.../Mozilla/Firefox/ ```

The winget log mentioned that winget downloaded https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/150.0.2/win64/zh-CN/Firefox%20Setup%20150.0.2.exe ```log 2026-05-12 22:19:28.840 [CORE] WinINet downloading from url: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/150.0.2/win64/zh-CN/Firefox%20Setup%20150.0.2.exe 2026-05-12 22:37:42.091 [CORE] Download hash: 6c7fb833ebb13637daf750c7a2c611e2b6d8d324dc2463eed40e8478d0c791fc 2026-05-12 22:37:42.091 [CORE] Download completed. 2026-05-12 22:37:42.094 [CLI ] Installer hash verified ```

Installer args: ```log 2026-05-12 22:37:43.543 [CLI ] Installer args: /InstallDirectoryPath="D:/.../Mozilla/Firefox/" 2026-05-12 22:37:43.545 [CLI ] Starting: 'D:\Temp\WinGet\Mozilla.Firefox.zh-CN.150.0.2\Firefox%20Setup%20150.0.2.exe' with arguments ' /InstallDirectoryPath="D:/.../Mozilla/Firefox/"' 2026-05-12 22:38:12.554 [REPO] Reading MSI UpgradeCodes 2026-05-12 22:38:12.891 [REPO] Reading MSI UpgradeCodes 2026-05-12 22:38:13.405 [CLI ] During package install, 1 changes to ARP were observed, 1 matches were found for the package, and 1 packages were in both 2026-05-12 22:38:13.405 [CLI ] The entry determined to be associated with the package is 'Mozilla Firefox (x64 zh-CN)', with publisher 'Mozilla' ```

Then winget shows the installation was successful, but the shortcuts in the Start menu and on the desktop point to a path that doesn't exist. I noticed that this path is the one I passed to winget via the -l parameter, but it is missing the slash (`/`) > D:/a/b/Mozilla/Firefox/ → D:\abMozillaFirefox\ I couldn't find the installed Firefox either in the root directory of drive D or under the originally expected path D:\...\Mozilla\Firefox.

Although I passed the -i parameter (specifying interactive installation) to winget, I didn't see the installer window. In the user registry, the installer also wrote the aforementioned incorrect path, and I cannot uninstall this installation through Windows Settings.

I wrote a script myself to search for folders or files with 'firefox' in the name (case-insensitive) on my system's C and D drives, and I only found this folder that looks related: ```pwsh > ls "C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox"

   Directory: C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

I want to know what the installer does after running the above installation, and how I can undo these changes to reinstall Firefox?

Since a few days I'm unable to download or re-install Firefox on my laptop. This follows performance problems which I wanted to solve by uninstalling / reinstalling the browser. The installing process ultimately times out.
