I have repeatedly attempted to download the newest version of mozilla firefox but am redirected to a general info/help page. I have previously downloaded it, but uninstalled it because I was having problems. I've attempted to redownload it but continue to be redirected to an info/help page.

If you use IE to download Firefox then don't try to run Firefox directly, but download and save the file to your computer (Desktop) and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

the download manager will just not download it. It just says preparing and keeps trying to download or it says could not download because of error but will not say what the error is.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

it's probably a problem with the download manager you're unsing - disable it (temporarily) and use the plain IE for downloading the file
