How to download firefox on windows 8.1 64 bit?

After the firefox installer downloaded and I ran the program a "Run As" window opens (see attached picture). I have tried running it under current user, however after I hit okay nothing happens. I have also tried running it under administrator, but I do not know the correct password.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
If you can't make changes then start Windows Explorer as Administrator.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Cannot see where or how to download Firefox for Windows

I can see how to download Firefox for Mobile, but not for my Windows desktop machine. Am I missing something obvious???

Please try this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/
and this is the direct link: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-7.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US

I can't download Firefox. Windows is blocking it, saying the source is not registered.

I am trying to download Firefox, but Windows/Internet Explorer 8 is blocking it...saying the file is not registered/certified etc. I tried to upload the certificate, but it still won't let me do it. Seems like another Microsoft attempt to stop people from using competing software. How can I get around this so I can start using Firefox?

If the above doesn't work, your issue may be caused by Firefox files left from the previous install.
In this case, please delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
*'''Windows:'''
**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
If the above doesn't work, please also delete the Firefox application data from your computer.
WARNING: Removing folders/files can cause damage to other programs and the Windows operating system. use caution when manually deleting folders/files. Creating a backup of any deleted files is highly recommended!

Hi annarepublic78,
As per the above mentioned error, your Win CS6 download was not complete, either it was in process or was interrupted. This is the only reason you see the MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.crdownload. Here .crdownload means the download is in process.
Please try to download it again on the Desktop and please make sure that the download completes successfully(without the .crdownload extension).

How do I download Firefox for Windows XP on an iMac?

I have just installed Windows XP on an iMac (which otherwise runs Mac OS 10.6.3). I want to download Firefox to run under XP on it, but of course I have no browser on that part of the machine, so I tried to download it through the Firefox on my Mac OS system.
The website, being very clever, thinks I want Firfox to run under Mac OS, and that's what it selects. How do I persuade it to let me download the installer for Windows XP?

Thanks Tony.
In the end, I noticed a little link saying something like "All languages and operating systems." Probably the same as your link. I managed to download it through there. OPerating beautifully now (and also apparently with the system, it installed Internet Explorer, so all was not as dire as thought!)
Thanks again!

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]

Downloading Firefox on Windows for Mac OS

Is there anyway I can download FireFox for Mac OS X on my Windows 7 machine? I want to try to run it on my Mac emulator. I don't know how to setup the Mac emulator to download, so I want to download it on my W7 partition.

On www.mozilla.org there is a [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the green download button where you can download a local and OS version of your choice.

Trying to find a mozilla download site to download firefox for windows using a linux version because my windows version isn't working.

There are several sites that offer Firefox downloads.
I don't trust any of them except mozilla.org
But I can't find a download button on mozilla.
I'm using Linux because my firefox on Windows 7 stopped working and the default download seems to be for a Linux version of firefox.
How can I download a windows version?
Why did Firefox stop working. I was downloading a program -- Tunein Radio - and it looked as if it was installing junkware.
I stopped the download but it seems to have already installed something called file opener. I uninstalled fire opener.
That may have caused the problem

hello, you'll find download links for all supported systems & languages at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
if you suspect that the problem on your system is caused by malware it is probably advisable to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

How to install firefox on Windows 7 using Verizon MIS 12200 OTA high speed internet and Internet Explorer?

Downloaded Firefox to the desktop. When installing while not on the internet and the installation crashed. A window asked us to go onto the internet. We did and clicked the Firefox download button. When running the program, it crashed again.

I have an old PSUS4 and a Samsung ML-2010R. Both work perfectly so my issues are mostly with getting them to work each time I step up to the next Microsoft OS. The post by wdboer helped me get my Windows 7 32-bit PC connected to my printer over the LAN and via the PSUS4 so many thanks to wdboer.
I upgraded to a 64-bit PC with Windows 8 and followed the same instructions and used the Universal Printer Driver downloaded from Samsung but all I got was the printer to 'wake up' but it printed nothing (a direct USB cable connection worked fine). I finally got the printer to work by;
1. Windows 8 Control Panel
2. Device and Printers
3. Right click on the newly installed printer
4. Click on the Device Options tab
5. Selecting the Printer Model drop down and selecting Samsung ML-2010 Series followed by Apply
When I went back to the General Tab and clicked on Print Test Page, the printer woke up and printed the test page
Cheers, R

How to download a clean Windows 8 pro iso?

I want to remove all the lenovo bloatware, and install a clean window 8 copy.
The first step is to find a clean windows 8 iso. However, the windows setup or window upgrade assistant wouldn't allow me to download any windows copy.
How can I download a clean windows 8 iso? I assume the version I shall use for Windows 8 pro is en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso.
Thanks for sharing!

Have you tried doing the download on another computer, if one is available?
The only problem that might crop up is the clean copy you are trying to download maybe what is called a "retail" copy. Your system has what is known as a "OEM" COA sticker on it. I'm not sure about Windows 8, but back in the day of Windows XP you needed a OEM install disc in order to use a OEM key.
Also if your download source is from a torrent, it might not be so clean. File shared copies aren't immune from having spyware or malware in them. You might be better off just cleaning up the Lenovo bloatware on your present install.

How to delete firefox for windows?

program uninstall does not work

Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
