I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

Go to a suitable download page eg: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Download firefox, use the save option rather than install. Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.

However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.
