# Browser setup

Open Browser settings, select a supported mode, install or authorize the required bridge when prompted, and test with a harmless page.

## Where this lives

Open a task, then choose **Stage → Browser**.

Foxora can operate an isolated managed browser or an authorized existing browser context, while showing navigation, screenshots, actions, and takeover state on the Stage.

> **Safety:** Browser actions can create irreversible external changes. Never expose more browser state or account access than the task requires.

## Steps

1. Open a task, then choose **Stage → Browser**.
2. Open Browser settings.
3. Select a supported mode.
4. Install or authorize the required bridge when prompted.
5. Test with a harmless page.
6. **Confirm the result.** Inspect the final URL and page state, then independently confirm any submitted, published, purchased, or deleted result.

## Choose the right path

- Use managed mode for isolated research and testing.
- Use an existing signed-in context only when account state is necessary.
- Take over for authentication, captchas, or sensitive confirmation.


## Confirm it worked

- Inspect the final URL and page state, then independently confirm any submitted, published, purchased, or deleted result.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
