World Firefox Day

Lets say I download firefox 2 source to compile on my linux boxen. I am also forced to download kilobytes (megabytes?) of useless information embedded in comments. What is the point in this? I would like a dollar amount for what this campaign is costing in bandwidth and man hours. Would this be funds donated to the Mozilla Foundation in order for them to improve their browser? This wastage annoys me.
Furthermore we now run the risk of "that fox-fire thing" being associated with unwanted, unsolicited email advertising.
One step forward, two steps back.
My question is, what if you've already got 10-20 people to switch?
