I want to download the browser files, mail them on a CD to someone who has difficulty downloading large files. The recipent will install them on his machine. We do this periodically with other freeware applications. Currently, whenever I try to download the files, I just download an installer application.

Not sure what you mean by "browser files", but release versions of Firefox haven't been available in Zip format for the last 5 or 6 years.


Download Firefox from here.
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Then burn that file to CDR.
Firefox Setup 19.0.exe @ 19.6 MB is the entire program.

Thank you. This solved my problem. In previous download attempts, I could only download something called codecs.exe (a 1/2 mb file). By Browser, I meant FireFox.
