installing crap behind the scenes.
I agree, it's crap, and it's installed behind the scenes, IF you do a Next-Next-Next-Finish install. Just choose the Advanced/Custom/I-know-what-I'm-doing install option and you can deselect the toolbar. This is true for Skype and for most other toolbar-installing software.
I really don't understand this bias against Oracle.
Looks like Oracle is the new Microsoft.
Sweden, Denmark, Hungary and Switzerland round to the nearest 0.5, 0.5, 0.05, 0.05 respectively.

As far as my mom is concerned, there is no difference between the versions of OS X-- and why new versions of Firefox won't run anymore will baffle her.
If different versions of OS X make no difference to your mom, I doubt newer or older versions of Firefox will.
Wanna run 10.4 for years to come? Fine, just stick with Firefox 3.6 or whatever will be the last Firefox supporting it.
(typing on an iBook G4 with Leopard, and being aware of the fact that it's the last version of OS X that it will run, but might do so for a few more years).
