Visit this url, browse to the folder that contains the app and 
version 
in the language you want. :-)

http://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/

If you want the full release of firefox v43.0.3...

You don't want to go here
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

For some reason, it's still offering v43.0.1; which isn't the latest 
release. It's been broken for a bit of time now. I couldn't use it to 
download v43.0.2 either. Does anyone know of a specific reason they 
might have neglected to update the url to point to the latest release 
yet? When I click Help/about on v43.x prior to v3 they will all 
download and update (eventually) to 43.0.3. So, it is a public 
release, afaik...


However...

http://download-
installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/43.0.3/

has it...
win32 or win64. Full version or the stub (online download later) 
versions..

I'm a day late replying, but even two days ago that page was offering
me 43.0.3.  In case what you're seeing is coming from a cache, try
going to the page and using shift+reload.

My cache was empty, and, when I made the post, it was offering 43.0.1.

I just tried it again as I'm writing this post. Sometimes, a screenshot 
is worth a thousand words. Taken just a few moments ago:

http://www.picpaste.com/qaktGort.jpg

Just to be sure, I tested it with another machine entirely, too. 

I cleared the cache. I used tfc as well to be absolutely certain. 
Allowed the machine to reboot, fired firefox back up, got the same 
exact result as you're seeing on the screenshot above on the first 
computer. 

I doubt two entirely seperate computer systems that don't even share 
much hardware in common both have the same magical problem with one 
specific link not pointing to the correct binary for the version I'm 
wanting to download. Possible, sure, but, highly unlikely. 

You can see the url should give me 43.0.3 by looking to the lower 
lefthand corner of the firefox window. However, when I click, up comes 
the box offering 43.0.1 and yes, I checked, it's 43.0.1. :(

Both of the computers tested are running Windows XP Pro SP3, but do not 
have the same browser addons nor are they using the same versions of 
Firefox. The other machine is still using 43.0.2. This one is using 
43.0.3. The other machine doesn't have Noscript loaded, either.

I also tested this one with no script off and allow all for mozilla, no 
change.

Unless Mozilla has an issue with a header saying it's an XP host 
requesting the download, it shouldn't be an issue for both machines. 
One, sure.. not both, though.

The problem is either that or it's further up the stream than my 
network. It's not an actual 'problem' on this end although the result 
is I can't download v43.0.3 by clicking the link as I normally should 
be able to. And, it's been doing that since 43.0.2 was released for me.

It's not *your* cache I was suggesting you try bypassing.

There does seem to be a problem with *SOME* of the downloads. I checked 
the DLs for the US English version and of the 5 downloads *ONLY* the two 
Windows downloads appear to be redirecting to the wrong version. For 
example:

the "32 bit version Windows version" shows this link:
<https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-43.0.3-SSL&os=win&lang=en-US>:
*BUT* here (Michigan) that link redirects to:
<https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/43.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2043.0.1.exe>

Yes. I didn't check the non windows downloads. Thanks for also
looking into it and confirming the results I'd gotten.

YW. Please note that I also "confirmed" Q's results. It was a clear case

Perhaps. :) 

It's my own fault I didn't specifically mention trying to download 
the Windows versions... With that said though, Aren't most of the 
applications being recommended here either native for Windows or 
default assumption, Windows install?

That was true some years ago. I don't think "Windows user" is a good 
"default assumption" today even when there is a Windows version of a 
program or even when there is only a Windows version if the program will 
run under Wine.

Hmm. Are you of the opinion that linux has in some way gained major
ground? Or am I missing something? As last time I checked, the
majority of applications being mentioned here are either native
windows and only windows or windows with linux builds available too.
Generally though, it's discussions on Windows related software and a
lot of trolling? concerning linux vs windows which one is better for
whatever. 

In other words, I tend to disagree with the notion that it was a
case of two blind men looking at an elephant. I was specifically
looking for the Windows versions of firefox and although I didn't
infact mention that, I was not wrong concerning a problem on
Mozilla's end with the url not pointing to the correct binary. As
you yourself, confirmed. 

In the future though, to prevent communications issues or
misunderstandings?, I'll be sure to specify "Windows" or "Linux"
when I post concerning being unable to download a specific version
of something because the url is pointing to the wrong binary. :)

<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/>
has several hundred links that lead to an unknkown (to me) number of 
repositories. When I responded to your post I furnished one particular 
link's description.and the resulting download link of the file itself. I 
did that so that anyone reading my post could easily check my results

If you want to prevent communication issues in future posts, I suggest 
you stop looking in the wrong direction (Linux vs. Windiows) and focus 
on furnishing *adequate* information to identifiy the specific problem 
file or files.you're posting about.

I already stated that I'd obviously made an error by not specifically 
mentioning it was the Windows English-US binaries I was hunting for. I 
figured the news reader I use/previous discussions I've taken part in 
(few having anything to do with linux) would have made the OS binaries 
(perhaps not the language) obvious. I realize that was a gross error on 
my part and I shouldn't make any such assumptions in the future.

As far as linux vs windows and looking in the wrong direction, I don't 
know what you mean by the statement. I'm fairly neutral as far as the 
OS wars topics go...

I meant that your definition of the communication issue was wrong. Linux 
vs. Windows was immaterial. The same type of problem can occur with 
Windows only programs.

A theoritical example :
<http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/irfanview.html>
There are three download links on the web page. In theory they all 
produce the same file. If you get the wrong file from ONE of those links 
that does not mean you can assume the other two links will also produce 
the wrong file.

FWIW I actually ran into the *one* bad file case on Major Geeks once 
(different program whose name I don't recall). I emailed them, they 
checked and fixed the problem.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Is still broken. If you try to download the Windows English-US 
versions, you will be provided the WRONG binary - confirmed again as 
of writing this post. It never had anything to do with a bad cache on 
my end, and it *did not* work either time I mentioned the issue. It's 
still *not* working.

It's known by many regulars that I'm based in the USA, so logically, 
I would have been trying to download Windows english-US firefox from 
the url above, that I mentioned, days ago, wasn't working properly. 
It's really not a hard stretch on this.

The links offered on the mozilla site are not supposed to offer the 
'same' file for all download links. Some are clearly intended for non 
Windows OS. your example doesn't really fit in this case. It's the 
english-US firefox for windows links that remain broken on Mozilla's 
end.

I seriously doubt i'm the only user who's tried to download the 
English-US versions of Windows Firefox from the aforementioned url 
only to be provided v43.0.1. It's been doing this since 43.0.2 was 
released as a matter of fact. So I'm not thinking an email from me 
would be necessary at this point. They have to know somethings wrong 
already.

You said "your example doesn't really fit in this case" while I think it 
fits very well. That makes it EOT time for me.

Well spanked Susan. Diesel [Dusty, Dustin, Slam and many other nyms] is a

I don't know Dusty. I've never used any such nym. It's a pet name
you've decided to use because you can't reasonably defend your side
of the argument concerning some discussions we've had. You don't
appreciate logic and reason. 

SLAM isn't a nym. It was (long since disbanded) a pro VX group. I've
had very few nyms, actually. And, unlike yourself, I've never
attemped to hide/mask my identity while using one. I'm upfront and
tell people who I am. I did it when I decided to use the nym,
Diesel, as well. 

It's clear one of us is mostly a troll, but, I'll leave that upto
the audience to decide.
