The upgrades use stub files, but the full install files are available

• https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
  • American for Windows https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-36.0.1-SSL&os=win&lang=en-US

The upgrades are .mar files actually.

To find the page of full setups again go to mozilla.org green box and Systems & Languages link.

I need the EXE file to install Firefox on my computer, as the ISP will not let me use 7-zip. It is blocked. I am looking for a way to get the EXE to install straight from the downloaded file, rather than over the web.

I posted this as solved a little pre-mature. The file was able to download from the link you provided, but the install sill requires and uses 7-Zip, making the install fail. Is there a standalone EXE full install file that I can download somehow, that does not require 7-Zip at all? Once I have the base program installed, updates shouldn't be an issue, as they do not use 7-Zip.

Mozilla has not had .zip for Release ever since Firefox 1.0.2 was released (Mar 2005) as mixing the .zip and setup installs on Windows caused bad crashes.

You can manually extract the .exe and then install.

An alternative is to use the .zip version of Fx 36.0.1 Release Candidate build2 as last build becomes Release. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/candidates/36.0.1-candidates/build2/win32/

I do strongly suggest to not extract the .zip build over any current Firefox install and have it in its own folder.

Thank you!

Sorry not sure I understand your problem. I have checked again and I am able to download Firefox ok from

• https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ <-- Correct link, sorry about the initial typo in my first post.
  • Then selecting American for Windows https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-36.0.1-SSL&os=win&lang=en-US <-- Or whatever version you require

I have checked using Internet Explorer just in case IE had some problem, but it did not have. I also checked with Google Chrome and that was able to downloads both the stub and full .exe file.

Is your problem actually some security related file blocking downloads ?

If it is a problem with your ISP are you able to download using some other method and transfer the file ?

You can use the 7-zip program to extract all files from the .exe installer.
