You should be able to just download it and then run the installed. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Post screenshots if you're getting errors.

You might need to switch out of S mode to be able to install other browsers.

The Firefox web browser does not need support of any other web browsers including Edge in order to install and use Firefox on Windows.

As said above one possibility is you are using Windows 10/11 in S mode.

You can also try the full offline setup from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release instead of the small online stab installer
