Like, Chrome? I know FF has just killed their proposed Win 8 browser.

... and if you head into the Windows Store expecting the same breadth of titles that you'd find in the App Store for iPad or Google Play for Android tablets, you'll be disappointed. Want Chrome, or Firefox, or another big name browser other than Internet Explorer? Sorry, they're not there. Neither is an official Tumblr or Instagram app, though you'll find several unofficial titles trying to deliver the same functionality, and Google Maps addicts will have to sate themselves in the browser, since Google doesn't have a standalone app for RT.
The Surface 2 is a RT class tablet just like the Surface RT. It cannot install regular Windows software. It can only install and run apps available through the Store.
That is also why you got a free copy of Microsoft Office Home & Student + Outlook because they are also a recompiled version to only run on RT class tablets.
Your tablet has an ARM processor that will not run regular x86 programs (standard DOS and Windows programs).
You can install and run FireFox on your Dell because it runs the 'standard' version of Win 8.1 while the Surface 2 runs the RT version. If someone wants to run FireFox then they should get the Surface Pro 2 which doesn't use Win 8.1 RT.Something must have changed, I just installed Firefox on my Venue Pro. Works fine.
