Cannot download Firefox, stops with 1 second remaining
Firefox crashed yesterday and I haven't been able to load it again. I cleared Firefox from my control panel and have not been successful in downloading firefox because it gets hung up with 1 second remaining. It is the Firefox setup 6.0.2 that stops downloading with 1 second remaining, though it does say 100% complete.

have you tried loading an older version??
I have not, but I will try that. What version would you recommend? I am not that familiar with Firefox and am not sure how or were to go to download an older verion. Thanks
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"
I turned off my Mcaffee, so the virus software was not the issue. I called my company's help desk and the person helping me was also perplexed, so I gave up on using Explorer to download Firefox. I installed Chrome to download Firefox and it did download completely. The problem I have now is that when I try opening Firefox, I receive a popup that says there was a problem and Firefox crashed. I tried opening Firefox in Safe Mode, but I get the same message about it crashing. Firefox has a help forum that I was reading for help and it recommends emailing Firefox with the crash details so they can figure out the problem. Well, Chrome works pretty well for me so that's what I'm using as my browser for now.
