Unable to download Firefox installation

more options

On our desktop running Vista, Windows Explorer will not download the Firefox installation file, it will not even display the download link icon at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html. How can I fix this? Does it have something to do with security settings?

Thanks, but same problem with this website --Explorer on the faulty desktop does not show the link for downloading the installation. A bit of additional info: we had been running Firefox on this desktop for years with no problems, then got an error message that said it could not run. I deleted the 'broken' old version, expecting that I could download a new version. Result is that we are now in this situation where we cannot download the installation file.
