A firefox install is normally fairly self contained afaik it should run on a standard windows 7 installwithout you needing to look for or install any additional dll s. I have firefox installedon a Windows 7 machine with no problems.

Are you installing firefox from a standatd mozilla site?

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Does it has any virtualization or sandbox features?

In that case you may need to disable such a feature and reinstall a full Firefox version.
