Do Opera WANT you tou use Firefox?

I'm currently working on some cross browser testing for Archive Manager, the product I work on, and as a result I had to download the latest version of Opera. I must admit, I was rather surprised after clicking on the "Free Download" button to be presented with a third party download mirror (PlanetMirror) which in itself seemed less than professional but was made worse by the fact that, sitting bold as brass at the bottom of the page was a "Get Firefox" button!
Granted it was a "Firefox with Google Toolbar" button which I believe is a revenue paying affiliate program, but perhaps Opera should be a little more selective (and aware) in their choice of download mirrors.
On a side note, I love the subtle "Green with Envy" and slightly less than subtle "Grass is Greener" themes Opera have used on their homepage.
