Click this link, https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-40.0.2-SSL&os=win&lang=en-US

After you do, click "Save File". After it downloads, close Firefox, find the downloaded File, and run it.

Here is what I did to fix it. I reset my Firefox to the default download. As soon as I did that it downloaded the new issue and is working fine. My IE9 is hosed up somehow and does not work.

Firefox however is good to go!
