The foundation has an ongoing deal with Google<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google>to make Google search the default in the Firefox browser search bar and > hence send it search referrals; a Firefox themed Google search site has > also been made the default home page of Firefox. A footnote in Mozilla's > 2006 financial report states, "Mozilla has a contract with a search engine > provider for royalties. The contract originally expired in November 2006, > however Google renewed the contract until November 2008 and has now renewed > the contract through > 2011.[11]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#cite_note-10>Approximately > 85% of Mozilla’s revenue for 2006 was derived from this > contract." This amounts to approximately US$56.8 > million.[10]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation#cite_note-2006_financial_report-9> > -Mandar _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
