You're a version behind already ^^
Perhaps they should create a "/current" or "/latest" and offer "FireFox 
Setup.exe" there.

I'm not understanding the original mail.
Is it proposed to:
a) drop all FireFox versions?
b) only offer version 2.0 ? Why 2.0 specific?
c) only offer 2 versions? One modern and 1 reference/test?

As usefull as old versions are for regression testing, users generally 
like having an updated, or latest, version of everything.

When installing Windows the first thing done also is opening Internet 
Explorer to download FF (Chrome or Chromium could also, I guess), and 
for me that's the last time IE is used.
