Hello, I'm unable to download FireFox to my PC. When I click the download button, I get nothing. I've recently installed a new hard drive, installed Windows XP w/ service pack 3, and free AVG. I'm using Chrome browser. Have you any suggestions for me?

From which sites you tried to download Firefox? Please try to download from here: http://www.getfirefox.com/ After clicking on download button, wait for one-two minutes. Chrome will download the installer file. To see the download progress press Ctrl+J (Default shortcut to check chrome's download progress). Then you will be prompted to "run" the installer.

That isn't the official Mozilla download of Firefox. We should be referring people to download Firefox from mozilla.org

Hello Jones, If you go to the http://www.getfirefox.com/ it will redirect you to the same page, where https://www.mozilla.org will redirect you. This url is just created so users don't get confused. And it's obviously official link. Hope you understand the fact.

I realized that after I sent you the message. Sorry about that.

Thank you all for your input. I was attempting to download FireFox before my computer was fully up-to-date. Additionally, I had to use IE instead of Chrome to effect the download. Everything appears to work normally now. Thanks for coming to my rescue! You guys ROCK!
