Visit the Mozilla website. The Download link in the green box will automatically recognize your operating system and language.

• If you want to download Firefox in a different language/operating system, click the Systems & Language link just below the Download button.

Click the download button. The file will begin downloading immediately. Once the download is complete, click on the file to start the installation process. Maybe Windows will ask for confirmation before launching the file.

Select the installation type. Standard is an automatic installation and is suitable for most users. This process installs everything you need to start using Firefox right away. If you choose a custom installation type, you’ll have the following options:

• Choose where to install. Firefox will automatically choose the location that the program thinks is most suitable for installation. You can change it if you want.
• Install maintenance service. This option will automatically update Firefox in the background. You should disable this option if you want to install updates manually.
• Choose where to display the icon. You will be able to select the Desktop, Start Menu, and Quick Launch bar.
• Choose whether you want to make Firefox your default browser. This means that any links you click will open in Firefox.
