Using any browser, download the Firefox setup file to your desktop or other location. After the download is complete, exit Firefox completely (if open) and close all other running programs. Double-click the downloaded setup file to launch the installer.
If you have problems with the Firefox installation, do the following:
- Re-download the Firefox setup file if you receive the message, 7-Zip Unspecified Error
- Open the Windows Temp folder (Windows 98/ME: Start -> Run -> Type C:\Windows\Temp -> OK. Windows 2000/XP: Start -> Run -> Type %temp% -> OK). Select all files and folders and delete, then close the Temp folder window.
- Make sure Firefox is not running and that no instance of "firefox.exe" appears in the Windows Task Manager
- Disable your antivirus program and try again.
Caution: Upgrading from an earlier Firefox version to Firefox 2 without ending all "firefox.exe" running processes may result in a faulty installation (bug 357922, bug 357890) which is usually resolved by uninstalling Firefox (or deleting the file "firefox.exe") and then reinstalling Firefox 2 (Fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.1).
