Firefox has crashed and uninstalled itself. I’ve made numerous attempts to download and reinstall it but I keep getting the following messages:

“extraction failed, can not open output file” and then...

“hmmm.... for some reason, we could not install Firefox. Choose ok to start over”

Look forward to support.
