How can I download Firefox without the inbox malware?

Every time I have downloaded Firefox, the browser is infected with inbox malware, which defaults all searches to the inbox taskbar. I owned a previous version of Firefox before I updated to Windows 10, and never had this problem before. I have deleted several infected Firefox browsers downloaded from different sites, and hoped your home page was secure, but was even disappointed there. Can you mail me a clean version, if I pay for the disk and shipping?

Chosen solution

Download Firefox directly from Mozilla and you won't get 'extras' like that.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop or https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

If you're still getting that Inbox crap try doing a Refresh to get it out of your Profile. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings

Firefox any version from mozilla.org for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux are clean and have never been infected or bundled with anything.

Just because you see something like this when you use Firefox does not mean it came with the Firefox install if you got it from Mozilla.org or mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Are you taking about the Inbox toolbar? as inbox malware is kinda vague. http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/company/blog/how-to-remove-inbox-toolbar
