Firefox related - where is the best place to download firefox ?

I would like adblock as well - last time I downloaded it from Paul Phiilps blog but I am assume there is a more up to date version available now.

Any advice.

Download Firefox returns 25,27,00,000 returns on Google.

Don't particularly want the latest beta version of the Browser - and would like an add on or two so if somebody has downloaded it recently they might have an alternative safe source - thus making my question valid.

I think you misread my post.  The link I gave was to the official site.

Its not hard to use google And its pretty safe to do so - its also safe to ask the question as you did however. Downloading it from someones blog is a dangerous thing to do....

Paul Phillips just linked to the official site and his favourite extensions.

You should just be able to update everything from within firefox itself:

Help > Check for Updates.

This will also update you extensions for you.

If you don't have this option then you have a quite old version of FF, just download the latest version from the mozilla site.

If you want to update extensions seperately then you can:

Tools > Extensions > Find updates

Just wondering why i would want firefox? i keep meaning to switch to it?

Will it give problems?

More important what are the advantages, sorry to hijack!!!

[Jim-D]

Not sure of any technical advantages but i found it alot faster and smoother than IE, and thank god i never use aol to browse any longer.

The tabs in Firefox are worth it alone.
