Firefox is free, as in you don't need to provide any information

My computer crashed and the first two real pieces of software I want to install are Thunderbird and Firefox. I do not want Internet Explorer - ever again.

Thunderbird must not be as popular - the search for it took me straight there, I downloaded it and there it was.

Firefox was a different matter - the top searches from Live and google.com both took me to sites which wanted me to register for Firefox. If you see this, exit the page immediately - it is phishing in its worst form.

You can always go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/. They don't pester you for your personal details, you just download.

Or of course the improbably named http://www.firefox.com might work? ;)

Ehh, sure. I was warning against sites like http://www.firefox-community-edition.org/mozilla-firefox-download-optin.php,
which is a sponsored site from Live Search under Internet Explorer.
