A previous user of my computer wiped out all my browsers. I downloaded Firefox to my jump drive and have it on the desktop of the computer. Don't know the next step.

Many thanks.

If you downloaded the file from the Mozilla site (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html) then the file should have a .exe file extension. If that isn't the case then rename the file and add a .exe file extension.
