I need to download complete browser, not a set up file, to install on another machine.

The other machine only has a very slow dial up connection. Downloading the complete browser there would take a week. All I can find here is the setup file which I assume will want to be connected online for a following LARGE download and install. I need to install the complete browser off-line.

All the gathered system data below is totally irrelevant to the computer on which I wish to install the browser.

No, the Firefox setup (installation) file of about 9 MB contains the complete Firefox program and no extra files need to be downloaded. You can copy the file to an USB stick or CD-ROM to install the Firefox program on another computer.

My apologies. I now see that the file I downloaded is the browser, not just an installer for an on line install. I had been downloading applications and utilities for the new Win 7 machine. File sizes for everything else varied from 30M to 130M and a couple of things I wanted did not provide offline installs. I though the (relatively) small file I got for Firefox was one of those latter types.
