Hi, My PC at work cannot download "exe" and some other types of files. Please provide a different way (compressed zip file is highly recommended) for downloading the latest version of firefox. I don't trust other sites and also they often don't provide latest version.

Also I don't know if your exe file is a standalone version or not. if its not, please provide a standalone (doesn't require internet while installing) because my PC for some reason doesn't allow applications to download files.

I have searched the mozilla website and haven't found any other way. If there is already an alternative way to download firefox (windows) then I am very sorry to bother you.

FIrefox is one of the best web browsers and I want to install it on all my PC's. Please help me with this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Firefox downloads are a complete package, no additional files are downloaded during the installation procedure.

Release versions of Firefox haven't been produced in Zip-archive format for over 6 -7 years, only pre-release versions are available as such. Your PC at work may be "locked down" to discourage users from installing UN-approved programs, do "they" allow you to install programs of your choice?

Have you tried downloading Firefox to a USB "Flash-stick" using a different computer? Like your home PC. Just plug the Flash-stick into your work PC and run the installer.

Select your "language / country" and the needed operating system.

Thank you amirfd45, and the-edmeister.

@the-edmeister,

Yes, at work I am authorized to install applications on my PC.

Actually my boss recommended installing more than one browser for testing. Also, I did installed some other software on my PC so there is no restrictions on the windows 7, except the internet download is very limited.

Thank you for telling me that the installer is complete. I will download it from home PC as you suggested and put it on flash drive so I can bring it to work and install it.
