IE11 is giving me problems and I don't like Edge. I want to download Firefox also to my computer as a 3rd alternative browser. I've been told to go to CNET website to safely do so. Is this the site you recommend to use to download a new Firefox browser, I'm in the US if that makes any difference.
Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts.
Download Firefox — Free Web Browser — Mozilla
Always download from the manufacturer's/Developer's site. I never download anything from Cnet.
Thank you Essenbe for your advice. I'm going to do it very soon and didn't want any problems coming with it. If I don't like it for some reason can it easily be uninstalled?
Usually when I do a clean install of Win 7 or Win 10 I use this site Ninite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once .
Also:Ninite will
- start working as soon as you run it
- not bother you with any choices or options
- install apps in their default location
- say no to toolbars or extra junk
- install 64-bit apps on 64-bit machines
- install apps in your PC's language or one you choose
- do all its work in the background
- install the latest stable version of an app
- skip up-to-date apps
- skip any reboot requests from installers
- use your proxy settings from Internet Explorer
- download apps from each publisher's official site
- verify digital signatures or hashes before running anything
- work best if you turn off any web filters or firewalls
- save you a lot of time!
I don't trust most download sites like Download.com. I have never had a PUP(Potentially Unwanted Program) installed when using ninite.

CNet has at times been not friendly with downloads. I just got the 64-bit version of Firefox on one of my IP computers. I had to scroll to the bottom to get to the link for other languages/formats to get it as the very first page at firefox.com only gave the 32-bit version.
