hello paisley157, this error might be caused by security programs such as zone alarm - please temporarily disable those programs for the following procedure:

  • download the full firefox setup file from getfirefox.com
  • uninstall firefox on the machine (but don't chose to delete your custom files & settings in the uninstaller!)
  • manually delete all remaining files in the firefox program folder, which usually resides in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
  • reinstall firefox
