I previously downloaded firefox but uninstalled it due to malware problem. After fixing the malware problem with Malwarebytes, I re-downloaded the Firefox 18 setup file. When I click on it, it starts extracting and then a pop up window appears asking whether to install as administrator or as current user. When I say as current user nothing will happen. When i selected administrator, they prompted me for a password but I did not set any password for the administrator account in the first place.

If your local user then, your not able to install Firefox.

Instead of Administrator account, if you the account with administrator rights, make use of that account.

I cannot reinstall Firefox from your website it gives me username then adminstrator wth password! I've tried every password I've ever used & nothing works! Could someone please tell me how I can download it again from the Mozilla website??? My email is mich29@bajabb.com I uninstalled Firefox because it was giving me so many problems, crashing, freezing, stopped working when I close it! I really liked Firefox & I don't want to go back to IE & I don't like Chrome! So, if there is help--Plzzzzzz?
