Help!, I can't install Firefox
answer to an email to Clif, Aug 2006, permalink
I had been talking with Don about something else, and he mentioned his problem with FireFox on Windows 98.
from Don L
For some reason when I tried to install Firefox it would not install but Opera would so I went with Opera. Because I am familiar with it I prefer Firefox. I have a hard time finding things in Opera.

Try this version of Firefox. It may work for you. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

Hey it worked. Thanks for the great suggestion. I was able to install Firefox on my old computer. Before it always said it could not install because I was missing some kind of files and other bull, this time no problem. It does not have an installer but I found the EXE file and created my own shortcut for the Desktop. I does not appear in the programs list so the reason for the shortcut. Thanks again and keep up the good work on the newsletter I always look forward to it and have used several programs.
