I have an HP Chromebook that is up to date. Recently Firefox flashes black for a second then comes back. It does this continously while I type or scroll on websites making it very difficult to use.

I have searched and found that on Chromebooks, Firefox does not have a Safe or Troubleshoot mode. Firefox does not do this on my Android tablet (Samsung) or Android phone (S21+) just on the Chromebook. It started maybe 2 weeks ago (today is 09/05/21).

The troubleshooting issues I've seen with flashing black screens apply to Windows, etc, and not to Chromebooks or Android in general. I don't want to use Chrome, do use Duck Duck Go browser for a lot of things but for regular websites I frequent I use Firefox. It's flashed about 60 times while I've written this.

Any suggestions?

I uninstalled and reinstalled. It's Android, got it through the Play Store. It's still flashing. Just after I posted the last comment Firefox crashed.

If there's a different version to install on a Chromebook I'm not aware.

Hi

I recommend that you give the full desktop version a try. This guide will walk you through how to install it:

Thanks for the link Seburo. I tried that last night. My Chromebook is nearly full but I was able to install the Linux. I ran the command code to see which version and it came back with a different version of Linux, I'm not around that Chromebook now so can't check it again. At any rate, I ran the next code and it came back blank so got stuck there.

I'm not a computer programmer but do have some experience. The instructions given there did not work on my laptop.
