Once we download it brings up a box that says "Run as" and has User name: Administrator and a box for Password. We can't get past this point. What do we do?

Make sure that you do not run the Firefox directly via the download dialog in IE, but save the file to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click.

You may need to use "Run as Administrator" via the right-click context menu if you do not get a UAC alert.
