Download the full installer here: https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Then double-click it for installation. Don't try to open it.

Downloaded it (Firefox Setup 35.0.1) but still have the same problem. I double clicked and right clicked and "Ran as Administrator" but still had the same result. The setup file description shows "7z Setup SFX" so I suspect that is why the popup title is 7-Zip. It tries to extract but at about 80% is when I get the popup.
