Used below URL: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?utm_source=firefox-com&utm_medium=referral

& was able to download+install the package. Though we had pop-up received for admin credentials; surprisingly was able to proceed by clicking NO.

please let me know if admin rights are not mandatory for installation of firefox?

OS: windows 7 SP1

hello, as non admin you can install firefox into your personal appdata folder - so it won't be available as general program for all other users accessing that computer with different accounts.
