I have installed Kubuntu 12.04 on my netbook. Each time I invoke the Firefox Installer, it downloads a package, and nothing happens.

Thanks for help in advance.

If you want to install software graphically in Kubuntu you need to use an application called Muon. You can also install packages from the command line by opening a terminal and typing, for the example related to your question, sudo apt-get install firefox. sudo tells the computer you want to do the following action with administrative privileges, apt-get is an application to install software and firefox is the name of the package you want to install. The terminal will ask for your password and, once you give it, apt-get will do the rest.
