Trying to install firefox on a HP Stream 13 but keep getting message - your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded.

I am using a HP Stream 13 and want to install firefox. I keep getting the message "your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". There is a help topic that tells me to go into my windows firewall settings and add a app to be allowed through the firewall, but it assumes that I have been able to download the setup / install files onto my computer which I have not. Therefore, when I try to "browse" for firefox.exe it is not found on my hard drive. I tried turning off Windows Firewall until I could download the program, but got the same message. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you download the "full" installer from the following page, does it work any better?

https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ (scroll down to your preferred language)

You might also need to change a setting in IE: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_other/error-message-your-current-security-settings-do/59cc236d-7baf-4552-92ff-b34b9a6942aa
