When installing Firefox on Windows 10, you may see a warning that says you can “only install apps from the Microsoft Store.” This is a Windows setting that blocks apps like Firefox from installing. Don't worry, you can quickly change this setting and continue with the installation.

Any Firefox download from www.mozilla.org or www.firefox.com is safe to install, so choose Install anyway.
