My Win. Explorer has crashed. I have no working browser. Is it possible to send firefox as an email attachment?
I have Windows 7 and need to download/install the program (Firefox) without the use of a browser.

First, create a new text file on your desktop. Rename it "download.ps1"
Make sure it isn't a text file anymore. Double clicking on it should open Notepad, however.
In Notepad, paste this code
param($url, $filename)
$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile( $url, $filename)
Now, press the Windows button, and search for "cmd.exe". Right click on that and choose "Run as administrator".
Enter these commands: (I guess you'll have to type all these out, because you're probably not on the same computer, so copy/paste is not possible)
- powershell
- cd ..
- cd ..
- cd Users
- cd xxxYOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAMExxx
- cd Desktop
- .\download "http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2039.0.exe" "C:\firefox.exe"
Then go to C:\, and look for firefox.exe.
