While on Desktop, the easiest way to get Flame Token (XFL) is through the use of MetaMask, a browser extension developed to interact with Harmony. Following is a step-by-step guide on how to get hold of XFL:
Step 1: Install Metamask
Install the MetaMask extension. For Chrome, you can find it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn
For step-by-step instructions, expand the section below:

Add MetaMask to Chrome
A warning window appears that lists the capabilities of this extension. Click "Add extension".
To set up MetaMask, press the Get Started button that appears after you successfully installed MetaMask.
The next screen you will see will ask you if you have a Secret Recovery Phrase or you want to set up a new wallet. As you are a first time user of MetaMask, you will select the Create a Wallet option.
The next screen asks for your permission to allow Metamask to collect information about your usage of their extension. Choose however you like.
The next screen asks you to choose a password of at least 8 characters. Don’t forget to agree to the Terms of use. This password will be used to unlock your Metamask wallet when you open your browser. If you ever forget this password, you will be able to recover access to your funds by using your Seed Phrase (check the next step for more info).
After you set up your passphrase, you reach a screen with a short video that explains what a Recovery phrase is and why this is important. Make sure to write it down and store it in a safe place. Whoever has access to this Recovery phrase has access to your wallet and all the coins stored in it.
After you watch the video, you will reach a screen where you will find instructions on how to save your 12 word recovery phrase (Seed Phrase).
Before revealing the seed phrase, make sure nobody is behind you and nobody can see your computer screen.
Clicking the hidden area reveals your 12 word seed phrase.
After you write down the 12 words, you will be presented with a screen with all of the words that you have to choose in the correct order, in order to make sure you wrote them down.
After you select all of them, the Confirm button will become active and you can go to the next step.
After setting up Metamask, you need to change the network that is used by the extension from Ethereum to Harmony. Follow the official guide in order to set up Harmony with Metamask
Step 2: Buy some ONE
In order to interact with the Harmony blockchain, you will need to buy some ONE so you can pay the transaction fees. You can also use the ONE you bought to convert it to XFL on SushiSwap.
