No. You do NOT get my point. Firefox is (almost) worthless without an internet connection. It's whole purpose is to browse the internet. Therefore, if you are going to use firefox, you by definition have an internet connection, hence you have the ability to get firefox through this same internet connection. (This assumes fetch or wget or curl is around to get firefox.) Dan
