i dont know if you can call it "crashing" but when i get to choose the user whom i want to install the software with - i choose and then the little window closes and nothing happens!

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

Can't you start the installer?

Try to run the program as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
