Has anyone else been ripped off for $68.83 to download

Firefox is here:
www.mozilla.org
www.mozilla.com
You can always start from there. You can get the Chinese version too. Be careful, some other sites could be fraudulent.

I think this is dodgy

Sure looks that way. Any time a Web site begs me not to leave, without providing my e-mail address....

^It is most certainly not a Official Mozilla domain.

I don't think it one of the really nasty ones. Just one that bundles the Google stuff and gets a referral fee. He does admit this. The "here" in the third sentence is a link to mozilla.org

From the site:

I've set up this site to help people download Firefox. This is a private site not affiliated with either Mozilla or Google and I actually earn a referral fee with each download. There is no cost to you to download this software, but if you would rather go to the official Mozilla site you can do that here. I also recommend you get the complete Google Pack for while you're downloading Firefox since it contains many other great software titles for free. The award-winning web browser is now faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your online life. With Firefox, we've added powerful new features that make your online experience even better. Now you can get our Special Community Edition

He's got some bad advice on Firefox tuning there, but the site looks innocent enough. There are more links to Mozilla at the bottom of the page.

No brainer-- it's got to be "ads by Google" at the top-- where else?
Why does everyone want so badly to believe that Google is like this benevolent spirit looking out for you?

ho333ard, Google is not a human that looks at the ads at the top. It's just a computer, although they do manage to purge some fraudulent ads. They are neither looking out for you nor out to get you. In fact, they have been victimized by the same sorts of ads. I guess that's what you are saying.

No.

[now what]

now with so many sites trying to scam money out of FF browser,
does FF takes any measures to stop all this ??

[Daifne]

They do, but it's hard to keep up. That's one reason we have this topic here, as a warning.

[360gurl70s]

oh wow. this is just so bad. a phishing site could be in the horizons, some people would really think that firefox finally needs monetize support and opted for this rip-off. damn they should be punish!. Like one said we buy bottled water. but that water is clean, unlike these sites that have no intention but to fill their wallets.

360gurl70s,
Forum signatures, even those that you don't set in your profile, are limited to three lines here. You have seven. Edit your post now.

I have removed it for you now, since you are seeming just trying to boost your sites in the Google rankings. That is not allowed here. I am not amused.
