Hi israel, I've tried several times with 'firstrun' to install a browser but each time a window flashes in and out but nothing gets installed. I've separately installed Chromium and Iceweasel successfully (via apt-get install). Cheers,Jack

Hi Israel, I did try to install Opera via firstrun. I'll try a different browser and report back.
