I tried to download Mozilla through Chrome and Iexplorer but in both cases a pop-up appears requesting which user is allowed to access. No matter if I choose "current user' or if I type the administrator details, nothing happen. the pop-up closes automatically and the program is not installed.

Mozilla does not require anything to download their programs. What link were you using?

Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
