Why does the source of the Firefox download come from random countries and are the copies from these places safe?

I am trying to download Firefox, but want to make sure my copy is legitimate. Every time I go to download a copy, the source is a different server usually from another country.
Is this normal and are the copies from these servers checked for viruses and malware?
I ultimately got a copy from 3347-voxcdn.com.

Mozilla has mirrors around the globe.

  • Why does Perl 5.12 want to connect to daryl.dostech.ca and who the heck is Daryl?

    After recently installing Lion I'm getting a lot of Little Snitch hits from Perl.  WTH?  OK, I know perl is a proramming language great for string manipulation and widely used in network programming but why does something like that want to connect to a guy like Daryl?  I did a little investigation and it seems he runs or has something to do with the Spamassassin open sourcing here: http://spamassassin.apache.org/
    OK, fine.  So mail spam filtering?  Great!  But mail isn't running on this computer and I'm not running a mail server either. So why is OS X Lion wanting to connect to this guy?

  • Why does my FP-1600 take a 24V .5 Amp Power Supply and drop the Voltage to 11V at .5 Amps?

    I have a FP-1600 connected to 4 FP-TB-1 bases. 2 FP-AI-100, 1 FP-TC-120, and 1 FP-AO-210 modules. I am powering the FP-1600 with a 24 V .5 A power supply. There are no devices currently connected to any of the modules. The power supply should be supplying 12 W, which should be enough to power the FP-1600 and the 4 modules according to the power requirement calculation in the manual P = 7 W + 1.15*#modules. When I install the third module, the FP-1600 stops communicating. Checking the power supply I see that the voltage drop across the power terminals on the FP-1600 is only 11V and then measuring the current being drawn it is .5 Amps, which is only 5.5 W, not enough to power the devices. When I unhook the power supply and measure the Voltage it is 24 V.
    Why is the FP-1600 dropping the Voltage to 11V? Should I just purchase a 12V 2 Amp power supply?
    Thanks for any help
    Jeremy

    Hello jqk,
    You got it figured out. The maximum current that can be drawn is .5 which is too small. As the current being drawn approaches the maximum allowable current, the voltage will begin to drop. Eventhough the current you measure is .5A, the fact that the voltage is 11V means that the circuit requires more current to function properly.
    As a rule of thumb, you want the maximum current your power supply can deliver to be at least the double of the system's maximum current consumption.

  • I just bought 2 mini ipads for daughers plus my ipad we use same apple id and now every time i download an app in one of the mini ipad it will download in my ipad 2 and in the other mini ipad what can i do to stop this?.

    Help me i just bouth 2 mini ipads and now everythig my daugher download in one mini is downloading in the other and in my ipad 2 we have the same apple id for the 3 ipads

    Do two things:
    1.  In Settings > iTunes & App Stores, turn off automatic downloads for Apps.
    2.  Assuming you sync using iTunes, turn off the automatic app syncing on the App tab when you have the iPads connected that should not receive the downloads.

  • RadioWMPCoreGecko19.dll popped up in my download manager, the source file is Firefox.exe. What is this file?

    Norton 360 popped up a "file insight" message related to a file that was downloaded to my PC. The source file was Firefox.exe, and the name of the file is RadioWMPCoreGecko19.dll
    Some sites are reporting this file as malicious, but it seems to me that it is a plugin extension for firefox? Can you explain this file to me?

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
    Regards.

  • HT1577 why does it take so long to download a film i have been quoted 18hours for that i may as well buy the film on cd

    Why does it take so long to download from itunes I have been quoted 18hours but on the actual device it took 4 hours .When other sites can download films etc at a quater of the time such as amozon takes 30 mins for a HD film to download

    Well, I can't exactly answer why it's taking too long but here's the average time estimate depending on your internet speed:

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • In the modern world why is not possible to download apps from foreign countries whilst in the uk...!?

    In the modern world why is not possible to download apps from foreign countries whilst in the uk...!?

    Because apps are licensed for sale only in specific countries by the developers, and for iTunes Store and credit card security and anti-fraud purposes you need an AppleID and billing address in the country you are buying from.
    Just because it is a digital download does not mean licensing and local commerce laws and taxes do not apply, like they would to a physical item.

  • I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

    I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
    When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.
