I'm ready to download Firefox from the mozilla.eu-US website but the warning at the start of the download says 'mirror.informatic.uni-mannheim.de' is this website ligitimate? I do want the English/US version. I did make an attempt to use your self help forum and got stumped on 'must enter post subject' prompt. I didn't know what, or where to enter that, sorry.

This happened

Just once or twice

Mozilla uses mirrors all around the world to spread the server load.
