Like the title says, my PC was unable to install Mozilla 8..0.1. Windows mentioned that the file is corrupted no matter how many times I download Mozilla.

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 work.

See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
