I seriously doubt that your PC is completely without a web browser of any kind. Every PC has internet explorer built in unless its been disabled. Try going to Start>Control Panel>Turn Windows Features On/Off to ensure that the box next to Internet Explorer is selected.

You can also try going to Start>Accessories>System Tools> Internet Explorer (No-Addons). Once IE has been located or re enabled simply download Firefox as per usual on your other machines & install.
