When I went to install Firefox I was asked to download the file from a website named saimei.acc.umu.se==is this a good site to download your Firefox from--seems like it should be from Mozilla?

I am not certain, and someone may give a better answer but:

It appears it could be an official mirror run from Sweden: Umeå University (se) although I did not find the exact link in the official listing http://www.mozilla.org/community/mirrors.html

If in doubt block that site, and try again, see if whatever you get next time is on the above list.

That should be OK I think, see:

This server is listed as an official Mozilla mirror (Umeå University (se))
