When I press run to begin installation, nothing happens either in IE or Chrome

Trying to install Firefox in Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP Pavilion PC. Download works, but when I click run, nothing happens. I have tried installing in both IE and Chrome and still nothing. Any ideas? I think it may have something to do with how my user account is set up, but don't know enough about setting up accounts to investigate further. I am a 68 year old grandmother of 6 who is not all that technically savvy so any advise has to be step by step or easy to understand. Thank you. Sandra in McLean, Virginia

Did you Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop?
The small stub installer that is offered by default needs to access internet to download the files and can be blocked by security software causing the download to fail.
The full installer shouldn't give this issue.
Try this:
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
*Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
You should get the usual UAC pop-up from Windows to start the installation.
