Chosen solution

There is no need to go to a third-party website to download Firefox since all Firefox versions are available on the Mozilla server.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (54.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:

Hi stevedbmw,

I found a 32 bit version of Firefox here

The website is German so I hope the setup will work for you anyway! I don't know English speaking websites that one can trust with files...

Let me know if that helped!

Regards JoKers

thank you ! now let's see if this fixes my problem with HyperLinking

What specific problems do you have with hyperlinks?

more options

clicking on a Hyperlink in Word doc results in error that refers me to sysadmin (that's me). I have tried several solutions suggested in this forum and others, short of REGEDIT, to no avail. I uninstalled 64bit FF because I just recently installed it (had been running 32bit with no problems) and so I associated it with my problem. I just completed re-install of 32-bit version but the problem persists.

Can you attach a screenshot of this error?

One problem like this can be caused by uninstalling your current default browser without first making a different browser the default browser. Since this problem has occurred a lot with Microsoft Office Outlook, there's a useful article on the Slipstick site:

There are many other suggestions besides using Regedit.exe.

Great news!

I am getting annoying warnings about malicous PDFs but I can live with that.

Is it the standard Windows "be afraid because this is from the Internet" warning? If it's a warning within Firefox itself, feel free to let us know what it says and where it appears and maybe we have some suggestions for it.

Hmm, I never use MS Office to open PDFs so I'm not familiar with that behavior.
