...and if you don't want to do that, there are options to run Firefox
without installing it. Assuming that the target machine runs Windows,
there's Portable Firefox:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
There are also Linux live CDs and such that include Firefox. I made myself
a customized version of SystemRescueCD that includes Firefox; it's on an 8GB
flashstick that I carry on my keychain. That'll run on just about any x86
or AMD64 hardware, regardless of what's installed.
That said, given the OP's demonstrated past ineptitude, even the Portable
Firefox option may be beyond his grasp. :-P
