When trying to re-install after un-install, download stub installer gets to end of download. I choose run, it tries to install and freezes when starting the extraction.

Similar also happens when I download the english installer exe file. It started when my wife interrupted an update that was underway. I don't know at what stage the update was interrupted. Can anyone help?

Hi, try completely uninstalling - Uninstall Firefox from your computer - you do not need to remove your Profile - under the heading 'Remove user data and settings.'

Now download from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
