FireFox will NOT download completely ("Corrupt file" errors.).
Several attempts at download all resulted in the same error. File sizes SHOULD have been 13.3mB, but were 7.1 to 12.3mB. File downloaded is "Firefox Setup 7.0.1.exe". OS: Win XP Prof, ver 5.1.2600 SP3, BioStar MotherB, 1GB mem, 350GB SATA drive, Other details available. A NEW PC (<1 month).

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.

Yep. That did it! Duh!! Just after I confirmed the posting, I realized the same thing. Disabled Avast! and everything went perfectly. (That's why I'm using FireFox ver 7.0.1 now). ThanX. Len C
