Asked By CuriousCat99 On

So, my friend installed Linux on my laptop for me, and I'm really struggling with it because I'm not familiar with it at all (I barely get by on Windows!). I need to update Firefox, but it's telling me to download something, and when I do, I don't know how to run it. It just opens a bunch of code. All I want to do is watch Netflix! Sorry for the struggle, I'm just feeling really lost right now.

Hey, I totally understand your confusion! Your Firefox might be included with your OS updates. Just do a general system update and it should take care of Firefox too, if it's already installed. But if you're keen to get the latest version, head over to firefox.com to download it directly. Just unpack the file, then run the "firefox" executable inside. It can get tricky to integrate manually installed applications, so don't worry too much about that for now!

Netflix usually has some version requirements; it's so annoying!
