Given that Linux has 2% desktop market share (let's be generous) and Firefox has 10% (let's be generous the same way), that would mean that Linux has potential to be 20% of Firefox users. Is that something you are going to ignore?

Many executives would sell their families for less opportunity.



The big difference is that those executives would be getting money out of those 20% customer base.

I seriously doubt that those 20% Firefox users even consider doing a $1 donation.


Firefox makes money from the install base via the search engine default setting. Fairly sure more so than donations


Might be, is there any official numbers?

After all plenty also switch to other search engines.


Are you sure? I bet 99% just leave it configured to use google.
