but how do i use another browser if i cant install another one? i dont have the browser package
Use your Synaptic Package Manager or use the terminal? You do not need a Browser to install software
Parrot is based on Debian open terminal and type in
If your connection is working you should have Chromium installed - try to surf the Net
when you update Parrot from the Terminal type in

Does it go out to the Parrot repositories to check for updates?

it says unable to locate package chromium
already tried
It might be chromium-browser - sudo apt install chromium-browser - I do not know if Synaptic Package Manager is installed by default on Parrot or not but you can install it
and then search for chromium

What happened when you did that?
whats the output?
it didn't work but when i searched in synaptic package i found a thing called: "node-electron-to-chromiun"
Wait... I'm confused...
Is this just a Firefox thing, or is it a networking thing?
When asked to ping something, you said:
Does that mean it didn't work?
Try:
If you get a reply, your network is working and your browser is not.

Try:
ping google.com to see if you get a response.If you get a reply, your network is working and your browser is not.

Confusion reigns
1. reboot your router
2. Reboot your computer
Try again.
(allow enough time for the router to reboot completely......turn it off......wait two minutes.......turn it on, wait 3 minutes + )

We need more information from the Member, the OP.
@magniv you have said
1. Have you installed it or are you just running it Live from a USB stick?
If you are talking about Parrot 6.0, it does not ship with Firefox installed. Are you trying to download and install Firefox, or Firefox-ESR, and through what method?
Chromium is the default browser for Parrot 6. and it is version 120.
In this case, it is "chromium", and not "chromium-browser".

You are coming here for help, so I don't get why you quoted me without actually replying? And this:
is not a helpful answer when you are coming here for help, when someone ask you to ping "google.com" or "8.8.8.8". The answer expected was for you to share the output because that would have shown if you have an active internet connection or not and if you can reach other dns servers.
it responded. but i cannot find chromium or any other browser (even in synaptic) except tor
no no i am sorry i thought i needded to type in nano "ping google.com" and "nameserver 8.8.8.8" . it responded with: PING google.com (random letters and numbers) and then tl = 115ms time= 45.7ms. it did the same thing more times each time a different number in tl = and time =
1. i installed it on a disk partition
2. i installed an iso and in the parrot os website it said it's version 5.6, but when i installed the iso it was called 6.0
btw i am sorry for posting replies that say nothing the linux reply thingy is weird for me lol
