I do not want to reload to my laptop as I already use Firefox. I need to find out how to download to a thumb drive that I can then load in the other laptop.

You can download a full installer from this page (scroll down to her preferred language):

https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

I suggest downloading to the hard drive and then copying to the USB flash drive from Windows Explorer (you can click the little folder icon on the right side of the download list for the file to open a window to it). That way Firefox won't try to access the flash drive in the future as your last used download location.

Thank you for the help/answer. I had tried this earlier in the day and it started installing Firefox. Just got home and followed the link on my own home laptop and it worked just fine. Not really sure what went different this afternoon but I am happy it worked now!
