I'm currently using Internet Explorer and it is SO slow. I went to this site and tried to download Mozilla Firefox. It begins to download and then is interrupted by a window that pops up and says the file is corrupted and it shuts down the entire download. This has happened about five times. Please help!

The Mozilla site. It's the correct site, I'm sure of it. I'm becoming EXTREMELY irritated with Internet Explorer and haven't even been able to really use the internet on my own laptop because of how many problems I have with IE. I've tried NUMEROUS times a day to download Mozilla Firefox and the SAME thing keeps happening. It'll get to about 3% loaded and say it's an Unknown Publisher and I tell it to run anyway and then immediately after that, it says "Extraction Failed: File Corrupt" and the download stops. PLEASE HELP. PLEASE.

Try to save the file to the Desktop instead of running the file directly from the site.

You can download the en-US version here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

Once the download has finished you can start the installation with a double click or via the right-click context menu.

You may need to disable your anti-virus software during the download and installation.
Don't forget to re-enable your AV software after you are done installing Firefox.
