SourceForge has been known for injecting adware/spyware into installers of open source projects lately. They've done so to Gimp, Nmap, and others. I'm not sure if they're doing this to Firefox yet, but I don't have much trust in them to not do so anymore. http://sourceforge.net/projects/firefox.mirror/ Not sure if this is the right component to put it in, sorry if it isn't.
Hi all - We have checked out the Windows build and it is the official signed Mozilla build. No adware/spyware included. I think the public backlash has convinced SF to stop the practice Tanner described.
