Temporarily disable your anti-virus application just long enough to download Firefox, and re-enable it before starting the Firefox installer.

Hi, thanks for the response, i have taken all anti virus products off so there should be nothing that prevents installation. It keeps bringing the extraction failed - file is corrupt message.
