How does it work anyway? I mean, how does Firefox make money? Are they paid per google search or something like that?

And, do they make money if I use forks of firefox and use Google on them?

And, what are the total number of active users for Mozilla and do the forks account into this count?

        I wonder what was the bigger financial mistake, selling that stock, or Steve Ballmer as CEO.

          Developers, developers, developers, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS (old Balmer meme)

          Wasn’t it Ballmer’s big push for online services like cloud that allowed MS to grow so much beyond Windows?

            Maybe, but their current CEO ran that division, so I’m giving him the credit, seeing as he also turned the whole company around once he became CEO.
