can i copy "setup" (windows 8.1, office 13) to usb and transfer to XP where internet 8 has crashed browser. I am not getting option to save setup
I am trying to copy firefox to USB from my laptop and install on desktop XP as per support forum: Windows updated then crashed internet explore 8 on XP and now I have no internet connection only on that computer (error message says unplugged).. I have windows 8.1 office 13 on my laptop. I am not getting the option to save/ run firefox on the laptop, just automatic download. Should I uninstall and then reinstall? Or maybe I cant transfer to XP in any event. Any advice for non techie would be much appreciated. I've spent quite a lot of hours on this.

That is not the way Firefox is installed.
Firefox 26.0 System Requirements are here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0beta/system-requirements/
You must have Windows XP SP2 if you want to use Firefox 26.0. Otherwise you can use older versions of Firefox from here:

edited by a moderator - all older versions of Firefox are available from Mozilla, no need to recommend 3rd party websites which may have "added features" to their Firefox download

thank you for your prompt response. I managed to save the moxilla install from my laptop and then transfer to XP desktop. Unfortunately, I am getting a "network cable unplugged" notice on that computer still, so guess more involved than I had hoped.
That is not the recommended way to install Firefox.
Read my last post.
appreciate your assistance, but your replies are a little peremptory to say the least. I copied the set up to my USB on Windows 8 laptop and then transferred to XP desktop (as per previous forum entry). If I had the internet on XP, I would have downloaded and installed that way. As it turns out, after I re-rebooted my broadband hub and reopened moxilla, I got the internet back, so evidently a combination of internet explorer 8 update issues which from previous research, had stopped the computer reading the hub address. All up and working now.
My assumption was you would use the laptop to download. If everything is working now then it's fine but you may face problems later for improper installation of Firefox.
Download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and copy the file to the USB drive if you want to install Firefox on a different computer.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
