Downloading and saving Firefox.
Can I download Firefox and save it to a flash-drive instead of installing it? The computer I need it on has a new install of Windows 7 with IE and it will not browse.

I solved the problem. I downloaded Firefox to another computer, then instead of opening the file I clicked to view it in folder. In "downloads" I clicked to "send" it to the flash-drive. It sends "without properties" but I decided to try that and it worked. Thanks for the efforts.

If it's exe or zip you can download to USB drive and install it from there. What site are you using that is saying this only?
No web-site said it. When I installed the new Windows 7 on the computer affected the IE browser just will not access any web-site. I can't download Microsoft Edge because I can't go to the download web-site. There is no way I've seen to download Edge to a flash-drive so I thought if I could download Firefox to a flash-drive that would let me browse. I don't want to download Firefox to one of my other computers if I can't then transfer it via flash-drive to the computer involved.

You can download the full offline setup installer for Windows from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release and you may need to select your preferred language in drop menu.
