However, there are a few options to get a bit more life out of this device.

First, the user could install a full-blown Linux distribution on the Chromebook. Another option is to install and use Firefox.

The only way to get the regular version of Firefox onto a Chromebook is via Android apps. So to get a version of Firefox that behaves as expected, the user has to go through the Linux app.
