How to Download & Install Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5
This tutorial will show you how to download the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (v3.5.5.) and install on a Windows based pc.
1.) Go to http://mozilla.com/
2.) On the main page there should be a green button that looks like:

Click on it and select either “Run” or “Save” (either one will work. It depends on your preference.)
3.) If you clicked Run, the install should automatically start. If you selected save you will need to navigate to the .exe on your computer and click to run it.
(Note: If it asks you to for permissions select either “Continue” or “Allow” depending on which option it gives you. This will happen on Windows Vista.)
4.) Follow the steps in the installation to finish installing Firefox.



(Note: All of the defaults are already set, so all you should need to do is keep clicking “Next” and it will be setup correctly.)
5.) To get to the Internet you will no longer click on
