While you can still use the links provided below to download offline installers for all supported operating systems, you now have to make up to three selections before you can do so. Note: Mozilla changed the design of download pages recently. With the web installer, you would have to download the browser multiple times (for each system once) which may waste a lot of bandwidth and time. You can use full Firefox downloads to install Firefox on systems without Internet connection, or for distribution purposes if you want to install it on multiple systems. While users want the latest version usually, older versions may sometimes be required, for instance when the latest version causes issues on a system. The main downside is that setup requires an active Internet connection, and that the latest version of Firefox is downloaded and installed. In other words, users will get the latest version of Firefox when they run the installer and they may re-use it.

Unlike the offline installer, which always installs the version of Firefox that you downloaded, stub installers query Mozilla during installation so that the latest version of Firefox is downloaded and installed. The stub installer has advantages and disadvantages over full or offline Firefox installers. All you get when you hit the 'download now' button on the Mozilla website to download a copy of the Firefox web browser is a so-called stub or net installer.
