Install of Flatpak went fine and I then installed Firefox with this command:
flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox
Flatpak found the ref ‘app/or.mozilla.Firefox.BaseApp.arm.stable’ in remote 'flathub, installed 5 components and completed with the message: 'Installation complete.
I then attempted to run Firefox with the command:
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
The message I get is: error: app/org.mozilla.Firefox/arm.master not installed
If I attempt to re-install, I get the message: Skipping: /org.mozilla.Firefox.BaseApp/arm/stable is already installed
Any ideas how to correct whatever I am doing wrong.
I’ve had the same question. I’m not running armhf-64, but armhf-32. On all the way from a PiZW to the P4b-4gb. The 64 bit OS is still a BETA. Not ready to go there. I have the .img. Not in the mood. I’ve been a Beta person for a long time. Just taking an OS Beta break. LOL
I’m having difficulty too. I’m not very savvy about Linux or Flatpak.
Update: The answer is at bottom of this post.
Running 32-bit Chromebook, Version 84.0.4147.136 (Official Build) (32-bit). From earlier in this thread, I think it says 32-bit Firefox is not available/supported through Flatpak. Maybe I should give up, but here’s what I did before coming to this forum.
I followed instructions here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Chrome%20OS/
On step 4 (add Flathub repository), I got an error the first time. I don’t remember what it was. Tried again and it worked. Restarted the Chromebook.
(New users of forum can only post two links so I’ve removed the link constructs)
I went to “https colon slash slash flathub dot org slash apps slash details dot org dot mozilla dot firefox”
and hit the install button for Firefox, which put the “org dot mozilla dot firefox dot flatpakref” file in my downloads folder.
At the bottom of the page it says to open a Linux terminal window and type this command:
flatpak install flathub org dot mozilla dot firefox
The system replies:
error: Nothing matches org dot mozilla dot firefox in remote flathub
Any ideas?
I’m just trying to get the bookmarks toolbar to show up in Firefox on my Chromebook. Using the Android version of Firefox on Chromebook, there’s no option to show the Bookmarks toolbar.
I don’t like Chrome. I use Firefox. I suppose I could import my Firefox bookmarks into Chrome if I had to.
Also, I downloaded the 32-bit version of Firefox for 32-bit Linux here:
“https colon slash slash www dot mozilla dot org slash en-US slash firefox slash all slash #product-desktop-release”
but I have no idea how to install it using the command line in the terminal window. Nor do I know whether it would work or cause damage.
Update: my son gave me the answer. Use this command:
sudo apt install firefox-esr
It works!
Hello, i’m using guix linux on a virtual machine and i’m trying to install firefox using flatpak, i tried this: flatpak install --user flathub org.mozilla.firefox, but i get an error it says: guix install : erreur : user : option non reconnue
what would be the correct syntax to use to install firefox with guix and flatpak ? (my cpu is an amd64 Athlon)
i’ve managed to install firefox on guix on a virtual machine, i’ve had also to make a virtual link on /usr/bin/firefox and to add /usr/bin to the $PATH
the actual location to org.mozilla.firefox was in /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.firefox/x86_64/stable/ddxxxxxxx/bin/org.mozilla.firefox…
