please get firefox from us

I'm reading an increasing number of complaints online that Firefox is charging some monthly fee or installing adware. That's not us. It's most likely people installing something from some scam freeware site. Mozilla doesn't require a credit card to download Firefox. It won't come with toolbars or other third-party crap. Please spread the word. Thanks.

update: I'm not actually talking about the Firefox bundles like Firefox+Google Toolbar here. What I'm talking about are the sites that users register at, download Firefox, and then start receiving a monthly bill for $39, where it's not made clear up front that they're being charged for access to a repository of free software. These sites, and sites that are offering Firefox plus some spyware program without telling the user what they're getting, are the problem, not Firefox+Google Toolbar.
