IT geek trick: when IE is broken on a pc, and Firefox isn't installed, use ftp to download it.
Open a DOS box, change to an empty directory (I created c:\getff) then type:
ftp ftp.mozilla.org.
you'll be prompted for a username, use anonymous, password is your e-mail address.
cd to this directory: /pub/firefox/releases/3.5.4/win32/en-US/
set type to binary (type binary)
now here's the tricky part -- maybe someone with better Unix-Fu than I can answer this. The filename has spaces in it. (Firefox Setup 3.5.4.exe). The only way I know how to do this is to use mget instead of get (there's only one file, it will work fine)
mget *.exe
that will download the install file to your directory on your hard drive. Good luck!
