Installing Firefox on Windows

1. To download Firefox, visit https://www.mozilla.com/firefox/.

   

2. Click the download button and the installation file will begin to download to your computer.

3. Once the download is complete, double-click the installation file to start the Firefox installation wizard.

   • If you are running Windows Vista, you may get a User Account Control prompt. In this case, allow the setup to run by clicking Continue.
   • If you are running Windows 7, you will be asked whether to allow Firefox to make changes to your computer. Click on Yes.

   A welcome screen appears.

4. Click Next to continue. You will be asked if you would like the standard installation, or whether you would like to customize it. Choose the standard installation and click Next.

   

5. You will be asked if you want Firefox to be your default browser. This is recommended.

   

6. Click Install.

7. To import your bookmarks and other data from other browsers (for example Internet Explorer), click Continue. If you don’t want to import anything, just select Cancel.

   

8. Once Firefox has been installed, click Finish to close the setup wizard.

If the Launch Firefox now check box is checked, Firefox will start after you click Finish. Otherwise you can launch Firefox through the start menu.
