i downloaded the firfox 9.0 on my laptop with windows vista. when i click on the installed file, it runs an extraction but however does not do anything after extraction. there is no pop-up, no process running, the installation just stops and i have to do the extraction again which results in similar issue.

Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes installing work.
