He selected the English-language 64-bit Windows version for everyone. Cool.

Or we could go here
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/>
and choose what we want.

As a plus, we can see the "Verified by DigiCert" icon in our browser's
address field and know that we're on a trusted site.
Nobody with an awareness of social engineering tricks is going to
download from Good Guy's link.

Thanks for that.

And if anyone's wondering: although it has "en-US" in the URL, there are
several Englishes there to choose from (including en-GB).

Ha, didn't even notice that. It's the web page's language.
Here's the URL for my Thai friend.

That URL at the top of this post has lots - from Acholi to Xhosa(!),
including Thai. Though I suppose the page itself _is_ in (presumably US)
English, granted (though each language is also named in itself [in the
correct script]).
