Try to download Firefox from the http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html site.

You can also download the installer via another computer and save the file to an USB stick to transfer the file to your computer.

There are other things that need attention:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  2. Java Plug-in 1.6.0_06 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
