| 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

| result, Mozilla has turned from a struggling project into an incredibly  
| powerful force within open source.
