ok, this is sounding slightly suspicious. could you do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the free version of malwarebytes?

as an alternative you could also try getting a portable version of the browser to install & run.

hello edwin, does it make a difference when you right-click the setup file & choose to run it as admin?

Hello Madperson, It makes no difference. (:((

When I choice 'run als administrator' I get the next messages; (btw. the second go's to 100% and then disappears)

Hello Madperson,

I have run a full scan of MABM PRO: nothing found.

Second, I downloaded the portable version and quess what, it worked!!

Thanks a lot!

The first post solved the problem which was using (free version of malwarebytes?) , it appeared that there was malwares preventing firefox to complete the installation process, so after scanning the system two malwares was detected, and then firefox installation worked fine. thanks.
