Odd that FireFox is not installing.

Opera is also a pretty good browser, personally I would stay away from Netscape.

Be aware there are security holes in the older Firefoxes.

If you could update your system to at least 10.2, you could run the latest Firefox. Version 10.1 is not very stable, anyway.
