Firefox 25 is released
I find it irritating that Mozilla now herds its Firefox users toward the Stub installer, and not the full offline-install redistributable binary.<p>The actual download itself is available on the "Systems & Languages" page:<p>> <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/</a><p>This kind of download is important, when you want to try out a new release, without committing yourself to it. For example, let's say you want to load it up in a VM, without contaminating your normal environment.<p>Googling for things like "firefox standalone redistributable offline install" are a road to nowhere.<p>You sort of just have to "know" that "Download Firefox in your language" means "Download the standalone installer, and not the stub installer". They don't explain this, or make it obvious that this is how you can get a copy of a static binary for predictable results.
