When I try to download Firefox again, it says I have to close Mozilla Firefox to continue. I don't even have Firefox running. How can I close it if I'm not even using it? Why can't I reinstall Mozilla Firefox?

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

See "Firefox connection settings":
