While updating Firefox, I clicked cancel. When starting Firefox again, I got 2 error dialogs each stating a different file was missing. I tried to download Firefox from your website. The installation was almost complete when an error dialog stated "Your download was interrupted. Please click the OK button to continue.". I clicked OK and the install dialog vanished, and Firefox did not start automatically, and no Firefox shortcut appeared. How do I get Firefox to install? I solved this issue by copying the folder Mozilla Firefox from my other PC to the location C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox. Then clicked on firefox.exe. Bingo! We're back in business.
