BUworks supports Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) versions.  We recommend using the latest ESR version  for maintaining stability and security with BUWorks as well as other university systems.

Please open this instruction page in Internet Explorer now so you will have the required steps available during the installation.

1.  Download Firefox ESR  . Click on the Windows version (32 bit version should work even if you have a 64 bit machine)

2.    Select Save File. (Save to the Desktop, if possible, so the file will be easier to find.)

3.    Exit Firefox

4.    Find the Firefox ESR installer that you downloaded in the first step. It will probably be either on your Desktop or in your Downloads folder.

5.. Double-click the file to begin the installation process. If prompted, select Run

6. Click Next

7. Click Next, ensuring that “Standard” is selected

8. Click Install
