I was having trouble with words disappearing from my icons and toolbars so I uninstalled firefox. Now I cannot re install a version of firefox. It hangs with 1 sec left in the process.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"
