Hi Bitrider54,

I moved this question to the Firefox support forums - it seems that you are having issues with the Firefox browser in your computer, and not with a Firefox OS mobile device, is that correct?

You may attempt to install Firefox as an administrator. To do this, right click on the installation file, and click on Run as administrator....

Please let us know if this solves your issue, or if you have any other questions about your Firefox browser.

Thanks,

- Ralph
