Update to 31.0 "stub" file and full install file fail to install Firefox. Removed Firefox and tried and it STILL does not install. Windows 7 OS
The 31.0 stub file failed to upgrade on my XP system but was able to overwrite with full install file. But the Windows 7 refuses to update or overwrite. It gets as far as extracting the files and then just stops.

Try emptying out your %TEMP% directory and also try running the installer as Administrator (Right click -> Run as admin)

Try this:
- Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html - Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon
I have tried that already 3 times. Same thing. It extracts the files (supposedly) and then stops. I can watch the process stop in Process Explorer. I have also tried deleting the Mozzila folder in C:/Programs and trying the install again with no success, and the Mozilla folder was not recreated. I have also tried turning off the Windows Firewall, Norton Anti-Virus, and Spyhunter but the results are the same, Firefox simply will not install.

Many thank Moses. That did the trick.
