How do I download firefox to a disc (or zip drive) and transfer it to another pc (one without a browser)?
I updated firefox to the newest version and it wouldn't work (something about the proxy server) so I stupidly tried to fix it by using the restore program. I then realized that the old firefox was uninstalled when I downloaded the new updated version and now I have no way to get on the internet at home. Some very nice people told me I could download firefox to a disc or zip drive and then install it on my computer at home. I couldn't save the stupid thing, it just installed itself on the computer. I know this is a ridiculous request, but could someone please, please, please give me a step by step? It would really be appreciated.

You can save the Firefox install file to a ZIP drive or USB stick to install it on other computers.
Thank you for answering my question, but I wasn't kidding when I said I need step by step instructions. I tried to download it to a usb but I missed some step and it wouldn't save onto the stupid thing.
Lindsey, go to the web page that cor-el refers to in his/her reply. You will find a grid with all of the different languages that FF comes in.
Select "english (US)" and click on the "download" link for your operating system. You will go to another page where it states that your download will begin automatically.
You should then see a message box come up and ask if you want to save the file. Click on "Save File" and save it to whatever device you are using to transfer it to the other PC.
Take the device with the file and plug it into the other computer. Using "My Computer," navigate to the device and double-click on the file. It will then start the FF installation process. Follow the on-screen directions from there. The file is about 8.2Mb so allow yourself enough space on your device.
I hope this little note will get you where you want to go, but remember; "No matter where you go............there you are."
