Do not "Run" the installer from the download page. SAVE the installer to your hard drive (Desktop is a good place to save it for easy access). After the download is complete, on Windows, double-click the installer that you saved and allow the installer to run.

Download Firefox only from the Mozilla site: here: https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html or here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
