I prefer Firefox, but do not have administrator privileges on my workstation at work. I'm able to still install Google Chrome without admin rights, but would prefer Firefox. Is there a viable way to securely install Firefox without admin rights on a Windows PC? Thank you.

I don't run Windows so this is a bit of a shot in the dark but I'd guess that the issue is that you're installing Firefox using the default installer.

You should be able to download Firefox as a single package, rather than as an installer, here.
