All that's available in my area is dial-up. Last time I loaded Firefox on my desktop I was able to use my laptop at another location and put the program on a USB drive, then load it on the desktop. That program no longer works, (won't fill the screen, only headers) and I tried downloading updates overnight, which also doesn't work - they won't load. I tried to download a new version at a wifi spot, but all I get is a "setup stub" .exe that directs the computer to download. Obviously won't work on a dialup at 26.4K. How do I get to a version I can transfer to my home desktop?

You can use another computer to download and save the full Firefox installer to an USB stick to transfer that file to the other computer.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox 27.0.1 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
