I have a Dell Vostro with operating system of Windows 7 Professional. I had to have my entire system redone from scratch and since then I have not been able to get Mozilla Firefox back on line. I get the error of "Need Windows 7 or newer operating system." How can I proceed to get Mozilla Firefox?

hi, something on your system has overwritten your useragent. perhaps it's possible to get firefox through the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ page - otherwise you should disable this masking software...
