Go to desktop mode

1. alt+f2

2. Enter "konsole"

3. Enter "flatpak install --verbose flathub org.mozilla.firefox "


https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/flatpak.1.html

https://flathub.org/apps/org.mozilla.firefox

If it doesn't work, please post the error output here.

Opps. I thought you plugged in a keyboard. My mistake

Open desktop mode.

From the STEAM menu, select Power, then Switch to Desktop

Open the terminal

Enter the flatpak command with steam + x to pop open the keyboard.

I am not sure what you mean. Most Linux users do this stuff everyday. They paste errors onto the forum for help. To be honest, Valve support pretty much asks more than me. They ask for video.....
