Hi, a few days ago there was a problem for some users with posting a reply in the question, but this should now be fixed, so you can continue in your thread.

• /questions/1440423 downloading/installing Firefox

The installation began, but only got up to around 80 - 90%. It stopped at the point where it said Execute: "C:|Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\default-browser-agent.exe" register-task 308046B... (It looks like there might be some more letters and/or numbers after the "B", but I can't see what they are.)

My guess is that step adds a task to the Windows Task Scheduler to check whether Firefox is the default browser. Do you possibly have any security software that might try to prevent programs from making that kind of update? Or maybe that one worked but Firefox wasn't able to do the next step. I'm not sure whether the sequence is documented somewhere so we could look into what that next step was meant to be.

If you look in

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

is there a firefox.exe file (sometimes the .exe is hidden)?

I had posted my question yesterday and received a response from jscher2000. I sent a reply to the response by email a short while ago, but I wasn't sure it went through. Therefore, at the possible expense of having you receive the reply twice, I have recopied it here:
