Download Mozilla Firefox Standalone Windows Installer (MSI)

Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular web browsers available on Internet. When you download Mozilla Firefox from official Mozilla website, it downloads online installer (stub or net installer) which is small in size and doesn’t contain full setup files. When you run the online installer to install Firefox in your computer, it requires Internet connection to download required setup files. Once it downloads the full setup package, it installs Firefox in your computer.

Many times we need to install Firefox in lots of computers and if we use online installer to install Firefox in all computers, it’ll require Internet connection in all devices and will also waste our time.

That’s why Mozilla also provides full standalone offline installer for Firefox web browser. The offline installer contains full setup files and doesn’t need any Internet connection at installation time. So you can use it to install Firefox in multiple computers easily and quickly.
