I upgraded to Windows 8.1 (nothing but problems this far). I downloaded Firefox, hit save and open. Firefox saved. From download list, select OPEN and it says open with what program. The list is the usual WINDOWS programs. How to I get past this? Thanks.

After you download the installer from getfirefox.com you should open it up so Firefox can be installed onto your computer.

Windows should never ask for a program to open a .exe file, this extension is recognized by default.

All I can think is that your download didn't end correctly, and you got a file with an extension like .exe.part. So you should have to download it again, for example from the link given by Andrew.

You can also consider to download the full installer from this page.
