How to install Firefox without using IE

[qwertywarrior]

sometimes IE just isnt working or maybe you just dont want to use that wretched thing  and u really need to install something else then u can use this method 

1. Go to Start > Run > “cmd” and hit OK. This will load the command prompt.
2. type “ftp” and hit enter.
3. open ftp.mozilla.org
4. It will ask for a username, type “anonymous” and hit enter.
5. It will then ask for a password, type “anonymous” and hit enter.
6. Open the folder with the latest Windows release of Firefox by typing in:
   “cd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/en-US/” and then enter.
7. View the contents of the current directory by typing in “ls” and then enter.
8. Switch to binary file mode by typing in “type image” and then hit enter.
9. Choose the directory to download firefox to by typing “lcd C:\” (Typing this will save it right to the root directory of the C: Drive.
10. When you typed in “ls” from step 7, it should have listed a .exe file for you.  As of writing the latest version is Firefox Setup 3.0.11.exe.  In this case, we will type in: get “Firefox Setup 28.0.exe” (type in the quotes)
11. Now go check in your c:/ drive, and you should see the .exe file downloaded.
12. Type “bye” to exit the FTP mode, and then type “exit” to close out of the Command Prompt.

I knew you can do this with Linux (not only for downloading browsers), but not with Windows.

Will this install the latest version of Firefox?

Linux doesn't have IE though, so there is no reason to

I'll rewrite to avoid confusion.

I always just open IE, install firefox, and then uninstall IE with windows add/remove features

It's about the principle.
