Everytime I try to download Mozilla Firefox, it comes from a different location. What is the location supposed to be on the download? To clarify, when I click 'download firefox' a popup window appears and it says "Name" "Type" and "From". Everytime the "From" description changes. Is this normal? Or what should the "From" description contain?

If you are downloading Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com you will get it from one of the many servers around the world. The Firefox setup files are hosted on servers all over the world, and when you select download you can end up on a different server each time. For details of the places where you may be directed to in order to download Firefox see http://www.mozilla.org/community/mirrors.html
