I had firefox before but I encountered issues updating so I decided to uninstall it and do a fresh install and that is where I have been having issues with. I have been unable to reinstall firefox on my system. The only time it went through, it gave me an error message "couldn't load xcom" so after researching on how to solve that I uninstalled again and tried a fresh install but after that the error message I keep getting is not enough space on disk and later "for some reason firefox could not download" Please I need help. Thank you.

You can try to clean up the Windows temp folder.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
