Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to download and install the latest Mozilla Firefox browser on Windows:
✅ Step 1 — Open Your Current Web Browser
Use whichever browser you have now (Edge, Chrome, etc.).
✅ Step 2 — Go to the Official Firefox Download Page
Type this in the address bar and press Enter:
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/
This ensures you’re downloading legitimate and safe software.
✅ Step 3 — Click “Download Firefox”
You should see a big button labeled Download Firefox.
Click it — the site will automatically detect your Windows version.
✅ Step 4 — Run the Installer
Once the download is finished:
- Open your Downloads folder (or click the download arrow in your browser).
- Double-click the file named something like:
Firefox Installer.exe
✅ Step 5 — Allow Installation
Windows may show a security prompt:
- Click Yes to allow the installer to run.
✅ Step 6 — Follow the Setup Wizard
The Firefox installer will open.
- Click Install.
- Wait a few moments while Firefox installs.
- Once finished, Firefox will open automatically.
✅ Step 7 — Set Firefox as Default (Optional)
When Firefox opens, you may see a prompt asking if you want it as your default browser.
- Click Use Firefox as my default browser if you want.
- If not, just skip it — you can always change defaults later in Windows settings.
🛠 Tips & Notes
✔ The installer will automatically download the latest version of Firefox.
✔ You don’t need to uninstall your old Firefox first — the installer updates it.
✔ If Windows blocks the download/run, choose Allow or Keep (safe since it’s from Mozilla’s official site).
❓ Want automatic updates?
Firefox updates itself by default. You can check manually:
Menu (☰) → Help → About Firefox
This screen shows your version and checks for updates.
