I recently had to restore my desktop to factory condition. I am trying to get Firefox back, but have tried to download 3 times and keep getting, "error: file corrupt". It will not download, any ideas? thanks!

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.

You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
