Did you try to run the Firefox installer as Administrator via the right-click context menu?

Did NOT work for me ???? Can download, run , the asks me for "password". I try current user.....administrator but then the window simply DISAPPEARS and will not allow me to do anything further. I have looked to see if the new version i\has been sent to several places where it might have been saved, but nothing is there in the way of the new Firefox version.

Do you have administrative or root authority on the machine you are running?
