every time i try to download firefox 3.6 i get to extraction and i get an error message "file is corrupt." i do not like using the firefox beta version. can you try to help me figure out why i can not download or install or use 3.6. or can you come up with a newer version that is not beta whatsoever. i loved EVERTYHING about 3.6 until it stopped working on my laptop. i've even tried installing it on my desktop and i get the same error message. is it just the 3.6 version or is it something i'm doing wrong. please help me fix this.

Are you downloading thru Firef0x 4.0b3 or thru IE8?

Also, some Anti Virus programs have been corrupting Firefox downloads recent;y, try temporarily disabling your AV program long enough to download Firefox 3.6.8.

You will need to create a new profile if you didn't create one for the 4.0 beta version.
