Does Firefox publish a MD5 or SHA1 hash for me to verify my download?
For security reasons, I wish to be able to verify my Firefox download using either the MD5 or SHA1 hash.

Thank you!!
For Windows installers checking the authenticode signature is much easier for most users. Open the folder containing the installer, right-click, Properties, and look for a "Digital Signatures" tab. There should be one, and it should be a valid signature for the Mozilla Corporation.
For people who know what to do with a SHA1 hash file, downloading it over an insecure connection from the same mirror site as the binary completely misses the point. Instead get it from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/<version>/SHA1SUMS (or MD5SUMS if you prefer).
