Ive been trying to download firefox for two days now. When its done getting the setup file i open it and it Says the file is corrupt. Ive tried numerous things. Norton says less then 5 people have this version. Is it my computer or the site?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading and installing work.
