Where was it before? Been using Firefox non stop for 20 years but last time I went to the website was probably when I still used Windows XP.

Finally! No more "You know, you should really get Firefox, it's super easy. First you need to go to this other website though. Yes, I know, I know. Just trust me, okay?"

I believe it was getfirefox.com, which I remember primarily from adding banners to websites I ran back in the day. I forgot who previously owned firefox.com but I recall them adding a link to getfirefox.com on it back in the day.

It was on Mozilla.org before redirecting to getfirefox.com. Now, Mozilla has acquired Firefox.com and that’s the new canonical home.

Seems like up until last month firefox.com redirected to mozilla.org/firefox. Now they're finally using their .com domain!

Last time I downloaded it it must've been the mozilla website
