Are you downloading thru Firef0x 4.0b3 or thru IE8?

Also, some Anti Virus programs have been corrupting Firefox downloads recent;y, try temporarily disabling your AV program long enough to download Firefox 3.6.8.

You will need to create a new profile if you didn't create one for the 4.0 beta version.
