Anything I download I get the message "An error occurred while loading the archive." I get the same message on anything I try to download, for example Itunes, just anything.

This means there is something going on with the selected downloads folder. *What to do if you can't download or save files

Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:

Try this:

It is possible that security (anti-virus) software is causing problems with downloading files by Firefox or installing Firefox. Try to disable scanning files in real-time in security (anti-virus) software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
