    Well according to me you should first check whether your firewall is not blocking the installation. Sometimes our firewall detects some .exe files as infected files and that is why they block it. Go to the firewall setting and make sure that firewall is not blocking this process.

    Have you downloaded Mozilla Firefox installation from the Official website of the Mozilla or you have downloaded the installation file from any third party website? If you have downloaded it from any third party website then I will suggest you to download the Mozilla Firefox 6.0 from its official website and after that try to install it in your laptop and then check whether you are getting the same problem or not. if you face the same problem after that then let me know.

    If you want to download the Mozilla Firefox browser from the official website of the Mozilla then you have to click here DOWNLOAD. After clicking on it you have to download the installation files and after that you have to install it in your computer and after that you will be able to use the Firefox 6 in your laptop.
