Hi,

Please try right-clicking on the Firefox installer and Run as administrator. If the problem persists, you can try to include the installer and its processes as fully trusted/allowed in any security software before starting the installation. You can also try to temporarily disable the security software for a few minutes. In this case you may also have to include the newly installed Firefox + sub processes in the security software configuration before starting Firefox.

You can also try portable Firefox.
