    I little info about the Chromebook:
    Most folks aren't aware of how Chrome OS works. You cannot download (most) software to it. The OS automatically updates itself and Flash in the background. It runs a special version of Flash that is rarely incompatible with some things. So, in other words, you can't install Firefox, nor can you update Flash.
    Try the free app from the chrome web store called the User-Agent Switcher for Chrome.
    Go web to store and in the search bar type in "User-Agent Switcher for Chrome".
    Then select the app that has the little piece of paper wearing a mask /The User-Agent Switcher for Chrome and add to chrome. With this extension, you can quickly and easily switch between user-agent strings.

    This app mimics different web browsers that can be more compatible with certain sites more than others. If you are on a chromebook and sometimes sited just have links that do not work or the page does not interact with you like it should this little app can fix it much of the time. Try using the firefox 15 spoof.

    Yeah. I know what you mean. I'm in IT, and feel like that when I talk to my boss.
    Most of that is copy/paste from the interwebs.

    Summary: if you use a Chromebook, download the User-Agent Switcher for Chrome. Set it to "spoof" Firefox 15. It should help "difficult" sites work like they are supposed to.
