Technically, it is not an installer but a download manager that downloads the temporary Mozilla Firefox installer and install it afterwards. So, why should I need to have a Mozilla Firefox offline installer?
If you have a good internet speed and want to install on one computer only, you don’t need it.
However, if your internet speed is not good and you intend to install Mozilla Firefox on many computers. A Mozilla Firefox Offline Installer is best for you.
Personally, I encounter such issue when one of my client called me because he cannot install any browser that includes Mozilla Firefox. So, first I checked his internet speed and it’s worst, at around .30 Mbps. There is no way that I can install any browser in it via internet installer.
What I did was, I went home, downloaded the latest Mozilla Offline installer on my computer, saved it on my flash drive.
Then brought it back to my client and installed it on his computer. That was just some of many advantages of an offline installer.
System Requirements:
Mozilla Firefox Offline installer is just 42 Mb in size and it can run smoothly on any OS, be it Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.
