When I click on a screenshot in a download or preview, it asks me if I would like to install chinese fonts.
Is there any reason it's doing this?

It's the Google Ads, just as Phizzy suspected. They're definitely not all in Chinese, but they tend to be on the screenshot viewing. When that happens, click "No" and look at the very bottom of the page. There will be some boxes where the characters should be.

Windows itself asks if you want to install Chinese fonts, because of these ads (Windows detects that there is a Chinese font pack needed). Edited by the Author.

that's why every single system should have firefox, or at least microsoft omes out with it's newer browser which is said to be better, but we'll see if it really will be better when it comes out now won't we? either way, EVERYONE should switch to firefox, this is both word of mouth advertisement, and recommended by many, so if you aren't using firefox by now, you're at a loss

Microsoft have announced Internet Explorer 7, I think it's out this summer with a few new security things and the usual bugs.

did you get that msg from firefox? if you did, then you probably messed around with some of it's default settings, because the default settings are practically perfect for the casual user (not a freeak user who has to have everything)

Firefox is becoming the browser of choice for almost every smart net user. I'm surprised Microsoft haven't bought Mozilla and come out with Microsoft Firefox TM.

Hmm... Firefox is ok, but it messes up my special text boxes in webpages (like 'edit message' in MSN groups or 'New mail' in Yahoo!)

No it doesn't. That's how they're supposed to look.

No, they aren't. Normally you get an entire line of font/image tools on the top, but not with FF...
