How do I download firefox to a disc (or zip drive) and transfer it to another pc (one without a browser)?

I updated firefox to the newest version and it wouldn't work (something about the proxy server) so I stupidly tried to fix it by using the restore program. I then realized that the old firefox was uninstalled when I downloaded the new updated version and now I have no way to get on the internet at home. Some very nice people told me I could download firefox to a disc or zip drive and then install it on my computer at home. I couldn't save the stupid thing, it just installed itself on the computer. I know this is a ridiculous request, but could someone please, please, please give me a step by step? It would really be appreciated.

Lindsey, go to the web page that cor-el refers to in his/her reply. You will find a grid with all of the different languages that FF comes in.
Select "english (US)" and click on the "download" link for your operating system. You will go to another page where it states that your download will begin automatically.
You should then see a message box come up and ask if you want to save the file. Click on "Save File" and save it to whatever device you are using to transfer it to the other PC.
Take the device with the file and plug it into the other computer. Using "My Computer," navigate to the device and double-click on the file. It will then start the FF installation process. Follow the on-screen directions from there. The file is about 8.2Mb so allow yourself enough space on your device.
I hope this little note will get you where you want to go, but remember; "No matter where you go............there you are."

  • How do i get my bookmarks off of an old harddrive and transfer them to another harddrive?

    the mother board died on my old desktop - but, the hard drive is still operable. I got a new desktop and a friend added the old hard drive from my old computer (that has all of my firefox bookmarks somewhere) to my new computer. I now have two hard drives on a computer - the one that came with the new computer - and my old one - so, i am now able to move all my pictures and files, etc - and even found the Internet Explorer bookmarks - but, i cannot seem to find the firefox bookmarks. I look under Program Files - and I see Mozilla Firefox there - but, do not see the bookmarks. I searched for it - tried the answers that the mozilla website says to do - but, I cannot find them. can anyone help?? thanks

    Bookmarks aren't stored in the Program Files folder but rather in their own "hidden" Profile Folder.
    This link will show you where Firefox holds all of your information and what files to transfer over
    *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
    To get to your Profile Folder, while in Firefox, click the new menu button on the far right side of the Navigational Toolbar, click Help then click Troubleshooting Information. Under the Applications Basic section, click Show Folder. The window that opens will be your Profile folder.
    Seeing as you want your Bookmarks, you should grab <b>places.sqlite</b> then put them into the Profile Folder in your new hard drive with Firefox closed

  • How can I download Firefox for my Android but decline Google's policy block?

    Google demands that I accept all the policies they list before I can download Mozilla Firefox. The reason I want Firefox is because Firefox respects my privacy. Google does not respect my privacy and wants to sell my stats. THAT is the reason I want Firefox! How can I download Firefox & decline Google's unacceptable demands?

    By default you cannot. Android's permission model is based on you trusting the app you are installing to use the permissions it asks for with care.
    If you are willing to root your phone and install a custom version of the Android operating system CyanogenMod allows you to granularly approve and revoke permissions from the app you are running.
    This is a somewhat dangerous process and if the wrong things happen you could wreck your phone.

  • How do I download firefox when I do not have an existing internet connection?

    My internet connection is corrupted and will not function properly. I was advised by my router's tech support that I needed to download the browser again, or download any browser of my choosing. I would like to download firefox - but do not have a working internet connection. I was advised that I might be able to download it to a disc or jump drive from a working internet connection and download it to my laptop where the connection is corrupted. Please advised if this is an option, and the procedure to follow to implement this process.

    You can find the current Firefox 3.6.12 release here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html<br />
    That is the latest release of Firefox.<br />
    On the XP computer that you posted with you have an outdated Firefox 3.0.19 version that is no longer supported and not recommended for usage as it has a lot of security vulnerabilities.
    You can save the Firefox 3.6.12 setup file to your desktop and copy the file to an USB stick.<br />
    Plug that stick in the other computer and copy the file to your desktop.<br />
    You then can install Firefox on that computer with a double-click on that desktop icon.

  • As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so I need to buy an update from them. How can I download Firefox 3 again?

    As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so they want me to buy an update from them...don't want to do that. How can I download Firefox 3 again?

    What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
    This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
    There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
    The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.

    #See --> '''''Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
    #*Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4

    The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

  • How do I download firefox for windows under linux or older versions?

    When I go to download firefox it detects I am using ubuntu and offers me the version for that OS.
    But I want to download the windows version for installing in wine (and what if I want to download it for other reasons too)
    How do I get past this autodetect so I can download for the OS I wish to download for, and the version I want. I may not want the latest version of firefox.
    Or put another way, how can I pick which firefox I wish to download?

    I don't know about other versions, but if you click the Systems and Languages link under the download button, you can find all languages and OS downloads. [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ All Firefox Downloads]

    What kind of disk?  How was the disk created?  Generally speaking if it's a data disk just select the image files on the disk and drag it into the open iPhoto Library window. 
    With a little more detail of what we're dealing with here we can be more specific.

  • How do you download albums to i tunes that are compilations and keep them together as a album

    how do you download albums to i tunes that are compilations and keep them together as an album i have several discs that have downloaded singley the i tunes is a mess

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • Just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit and its not working at all.

    So I just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit, and it's not working at all. I open up Firefox and there is not tab bar, and all the command buttons are repeated 3 times, and are on 3 different bars. This only happens with Firefox 4 and not Firefox 3.6.10. Also, when I go the menu bar and I try to click soething, nothing happens. I'm not sure why this is going on. Help anyone? Here is a link to a screenshot of my browser.
    http://img683.imageshack.us/i/firefox4y.jpg/

    I have this too, but doesn't even startup now? I downgraded to the previous version and all is OK. I also have a 64 bit version of Vista and it seems to work "a-OK" on that machine.
    Seems to me to be 32-bit issue.
    Editing this post:
    I just seen a possible answer...Do you have roboform installed (in the taskbar also)? If so, try disabling it or removing it and try to start again. I said above that I have 2 units and on the one (32-bit) I have Roboform installed and it crashes, but on the other one I don't...so go figure.
    According to the report I read, if you upgrade Roboform it should be OK, although I have not tested as of yet...I am still at work...
    Hope that helps...
