Hello MMarshall1026, see if your firewall blocks firefox installation, try one more time from: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

make sure you have sp2 and above in your xp


thank you

Still didn't work. I think i may be running a limited version of windows XP. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

Unfortunately no. Firefox 12.0 is the latest version for limited xp or with sp1, and it is unsupported and vulnerable.

see : Firefox 20 System Requirements only xp with sp2 supported.

see also the : Do not install Firefox using a limited Windows XP account. in the next link : Install Firefox on Windows

sorry, you need to update the os to use firefox !


thank you
