Installing Firefox on new computer
We just bought a new HP computer with Windows 11 and I'm trying to install Firefox. I d/l the file from the Mozilla website, clicked on the file that d/l and the installation begins. The installation progresses until the bar indicates it's over 1/2 way done. Then all of a sudden the screen changes to show a blank tab name and the file area says something about a Google search. What am I supposed to do with this page since I don't know what I'm supposed to search for. I don't see a way to get back to the installation page. I just want to install Firefox so why all this runaround without an installation?

Thanks for all the help. I may have stumbled onto something. I started with the 3 lines on the far right and answered the suggestion, etc. It looks like I have Firefox installed. To answer James' question - I d/l what I believe was the full setup. I believe this fixes things. Thanks.

Did you install with a small online stub installer or the full offline setup?
