Firefox installer is looking for admin privilages to install, upon granting them, the installer immediately ends its process.
After downloading the Firefox 7.0.1 installer, running the .exe, it extracts the installer, then provides a small windows login box, looking for Admin permission. Upon logging in to provide permission, the process abruptly ends.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
