I haven't searched it yet but that first error message looks like a Broadcom driver. The second error message makes me wonder if the Firefox install is not from the official repos (perhaps it is from the Mozilla site).
Which leads me to wonder if the OP is attempting a 'clean' install or an 'upgrade'?
I would always verify the downloaded .iso before burning it to disk or flashing to a USB.
If doing a 'clean' install the installer should ask if you want to format the disk/partition so an NTFS formatted disk should not pose a problem.
Perhaps un-checking the options to install proprietary/third-party drivers and updates during the install process would help. I don't know if those are still an issue but they used to be.
1. I have tried different usb stick to install linux Mint 19.1 and no luck. 3 different ones to be exact
2. I also tried a fresh install using a DVD with a new download of linux mint ( no luck)
3. I did try to verify my download was good but i followed the instructions and I could not get them to work.
4. I installed the DVD copy of Mint on a different computer using the same hard drive and it installed just fine.
5. So I put the HD back in the computer I wanted to use it in and it booted up. So I thought well now it will surely install, ( thought I needed to do a fresh install, BUT I came up with the same
error of the install failed.
6. I put the HD back in the the other compute and reinstall Mint successfully.
7. the HD back in the computer I want to use it in and AFTER resetting the password. it is doing the updates and appears to be working fine.
SO will there be any problems with the WAY I finally got it working on this computer?
Thanks in Advance

YES I did do that I didnt have any trouble with the Flash drive as being recognized at bootableBefore you boot did you go into your bios and set the first boot as removable drive or usb flash drive.
You may have to have the usb drive inserted in a usb port to see it in the bios.
it doesn't act as though the bootable media is being recognized or detected imo.
My only question now is if it is ok to use this was
