Downloading and Installing

To download Firefox you'll want to launch an Internet browser such as
Internet Explorer.

Then you'll want to go to www.mozilla.org.

At Mozilla.org there will be a couple of locations you can download
Firefox.  It might be in the main screen or if not there you'll want to
go to products and then find Firefox and then select the free download
on the righthand side of the screen.

This free download should automatically determine your operating system.

If your on XP you'll be asked if you want to save that file, in this
case you'll say yes and choose the desktop to save it to then Firefox
will begin downloading.

If for some reason you needed to change the type of download your
choosing there is an option underneath the free download screen.

Then you'll want to close that file download screen, close Internet
Explorer, and then open the application either by right clicking on it
and choosing open or double-clicking it.

On Windows XP Service Pack 2 you'll be asked if you want to run this
program, in this case you'll want to choose yes.

Then it will begin extracting the installation program.  On the first
screen you'll want to chose next to begin installation.

Then you'll be asked to accept the software's terms and liscense
agreement.  You'll choose accept and and then next.

Then you'll be asked if you want to do standard or custom installation.
We'll choose standard and then select next.

Then it will be showing you the location where Firefox is being
installed.  You choose next to install.

If you want to change the location of where Firefox is being installed
you would have wanted to choose custom rather than standard
installation.

You'll also be given the option to install developer tools if you chose
custom.

Once Firefox is installed, in this case it will be under C://Program
Files/Firefox/ you'll then be asked a couple of questions.

You'll be asked if you want to use Firefox Start as your homepage and if
you want to launch Firefox immediately upon the closing of the
installation program.

If you didn't want to either of those you'd deselect the checkboxes
here, in this case we'll chose to do both and click finish.

The first time Firefox launches you'll be asked if you want to use
Firefox as your default browser, in this case we'll choose yes.
