,----[ Quote ]
| The steady rise of Firefox's market share – first, a few percent, then 10%,
| and now touching 40% in some parts of the world – had a major knock-on
| effect. Through an agreement with Google that makes the latter's search
| engine the default home page when the program is installed, and the first
| option for the search engine box in Firefox, the parent organisation, Mozilla
| Foundation, is receiving tens of millions of dollars each year in fees. As a
| result, Mozilla has turned from a struggling project into an incredibly
| powerful force within open source.
