How to download to new computer with dial-up connection?
I have a dial-up connection and want to install Firefox. Too slow download. I tried putting it on a flash drive on the library computer, but all I got was the installer. I have an accelerator.

Hi if it is 40kb then it is not the full installer, 38.8 MB is for windows, 71.2 MB for mac, 45.4 for linux, 44.5 for 64bit linux (always for the latest stable version). Please download fro m the next link :

thank you

Hi baxel, try from your library computer to download from the next link :
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
then put it on a flash drive and install to your home pc.
the above link with all languages and systems (windows, Mac OS X Linux) exist also in mozilla.org in green box as Systems & Languages link.
thank you

Thanks. I hope I just dragged the download to the flash drive. It seems too small to be the whole thing. Will know later at home.
When previously transferring from public computer to flash drive the program can't be Run, only saved. This time the Save option wasn't there, but I could Run it w/o admin ok. We'll see. Gary
fixed the scroll bar

I failed to get Firefox on the flash drive, hence not on my pc either. Disappointed.

Hi, you can move it to your flash after the download, right click > copy, go to flash drive, right click > paste (the file).
Ideato,
Thanks. copied & pasted. Firefox 37.0.2 setup is on flash. It's about 40 KB, so it may be the whole download, not just the installer, this time. Later today I will attempt to install it on my pc. Gary
