Every time I attempt to download it, a message comes up saying the download has been interrupted. I click okay and resume it, only to get a message saying the file is corrupt. I'm using windows 8 and as far as I know everything is up to date and meets all the requirements.

You can also try to download Firefox from the Mozilla CDN server here:

Another possibility is to open the Mozilla FTP website in Windows Explorer and download the Firefox set up file that way. See "How To Download Firefox On a New Computer Without Using Internet Explorer":

So from your link I got the response in the first image. Second and third pictures are what happens when I use the original link. Thank you so much for your help and patience.

do you have problems when you try to download other programs as well?

i see that one recommendation for the situation would be to reset IE to its default state: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Desktop-PC-Questions/quot-This-file-or-signature-is-corrupt-of-invalid-quot/m-p/2984285/highlight/true#M39848

such issues might also be caused by malware on a computer though...
