Can't install Firefox, keeps on saying download is corrupted.

I recently uninstalled my Firefox as i can't seem to update it to the latest version. So after uninstalling, i couldn't reinstall it as it keeps on saying file is corrupted. I am at my wits end. So any idea how to solve this? I've already done a clean uninstall.

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 16.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • Can't instal Firefox - the page says The Proxy is Refusing Connections. Try Again does not work.

    I have tried to instal Firefox on my PC but the first page that opens just says :
    The Proxy Server is Refusing Connections.
    Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
    - Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct
    - Contact your network administratorto make sure the proxy server is working
    Try Again ( button ) does not work.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it twice more but it gives me this page every time I try to run it.
    I have a screenshot of this page but I can't see how to send it to you.
    I don't know how to check the proxy settings. Can you please help ?
    Thank you.

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
    See "Firefox connection settings":

  • I can't install Firefox 5. It downloads & starts the wizard. I follow the prompts till it says it needs to restart the computer 'to complete a previous upgrade of firefox' . I say yes and it restarts and there is no sign of firefox and no error message.

    The very first time I tried this there was a red message that flashed on the screen too fast to read it. I have Windows 7 and AVG. My son's computer also has Windows 7 and AVG and his upgrade went without a hitch. It deleted my old version of firefox (3.6.12) so now I'm using IE. Windows installed a lot of updates just before I tried upgrading firefox. I have tried turning my firewall down. I have gone to the file in downloads and double clicked it and it does the same thing. It always says it needs to restart the computer even though I have closed all other applications. Should I just give up and try reinstalling an older version of Firefox? Thanks

    It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
    To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
    :File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
    When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
    You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

  • Can't install Firefox 4 on Mac OS 10.4.11. Firefox icon has circle with crossline in it when I download Firefox 4 and try to install.

    Can't install Firefox 4 on Mac OS 10.4.11. After I download it, the Firefox icon has circle with a crossline in it when I try to install.

    Sorry, the official version of Firefox 4 requires Mac OS 10.5 or later, and an Intel processor.
    You can download an unofficial version that works with 10.4 and PowerPC Macs from http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    or you can download the previous version from http://www.firefox.com/all-older.html

    You will need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard to get a Compatible version of iTunes to Sync your Device.
    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    Make sure that the file has a .exe file extension.

    '''Is there a way to download FF to a USB from another computer and install it from that USB on my PC? '''
    You basically answered your own question. If you have access to another computer just go download the appropriate language and OS version of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and put it on you usb drive and then go and install it onto you pc.

  • Can I install Firefox on my Mac OS X desktop also if my browser is Safari (two browsers on one computer)?

    I want to use Firefox for a particular link which only accepts Firefox. I use Safari since my computer man said Firefox had stopped making a version which could update my newly-installed iMac OS X 10.8.3. Stupid question: can I have both Firefox and Safari installed on my computer without tremendous problems?

    Yes, you can have two browsers or more installed in your computer.

  • My iPhone hangs and it keeps on saying downloading pictures

    When I am in "Photos" on my iPhone - it keeps on saying downloading 2 of 47 photos - but nothing is happening - and it is doing that for a week now - what could the problem be?

    Hi guys,
    I am having this problem. I tried to erase all contents because the iphone was having some trobules, for example when I turned on the camera it crashed, or when I opened safari it also crashed.
    When I tried to erase all contents, the iphone keeps thinking and never stops. I cannot turn it off or do anything.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

  • I have nokia 5130 xpress music.Why I can't install firefox in my phone.

    I have nokia 5130 xpress music.Why I can't install firefox in my phone.

    Hi 08ik,
    Unfortunately, the Nokia 5130 is a feature phone (a.k.a, a "dumb" phone). Firefox will currently only run on smart phone devices that operated by Android.
    Firefox is compatible with Android 2.1 and above devices with hardware requirements recommending at least 512 MB of RAM.
    You can see a list of all supported devices here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/platforms/

  • I can't load firefox because it says "Profile Missing- Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Can't delete either. Help?

    I have a Mac and I can't open firefox because it says "Profile Missing-Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Then I tried to delete it by moving it to trash and it says it cannot be moved to the trash.

    Create a new profile to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
