How to download and install Firefox on Windows

This article explains how to download and install Firefox on Windows using a simplified online installer. (If you need a full, offline installer or custom options, see For advanced users, below.) 

  • To update Firefox from a previous version, see Update Firefox to the latest release. Mozilla Firefox Help
  1. Visit this Firefox download page in any browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge.
  2. Click the Download Now button. The Firefox Installer that downloads will automatically offer you the best available version of Firefox for your computer.
    • If you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, a notification bar will appear at the bottom of the page with an option to open or run the Firefox Installer file.
  • Click Open file on Microsoft Edge or Run on Internet Explorer, to start the process.
  • In other browsers, you may need to first save the Firefox installer to your computer, then open the file you downloaded.

3.   The User Account Control dialog may open, to ask you to allow the Firefox Installer to make changes to your computer. If this dialog appears, click Yes to start the installation.


4.  Wait for Firefox to finish installing.

5.  When the installation is complete, Firefox will open.

For advanced users

The streamlined Firefox Installer installs a suitable Firefox version for your language and operating system. For example, on 64-bit Windows, it installs the 64-bit version of Firefox (details here). To install Firefox in another language or operating system, or if you need a full, offline installer with custom options, download the Firefox Setup file from this download page. Options available in the full, offline installer are described in the article, Custom installation of Firefox on Windows.
