Firefox is the world’s most popular browser in the world right now.Do you know how it is getting money? It is getting 90% of its profit from Google! Yes, the default page of Firefox is google.com.The default search engine is google.Whenever you search in that box and click on a link, google will pay to Firefox.
Recently Firefox has celebrated 5 years.The open-source browser now accounts for 25% of the global market, according to figures from Net Applications.
It was a different ball game when it was Mozilla against Microsoft, everybody was on its side. Now that there are alternatives, it’s going to be harder

Firefox vs Google
Now there is another strategy after the launch of Google Chrome.Google has an agreement with Firefox worth $66 million to Mozilla in 2007.The agreement ends on 2011.Now Google is a friend and enemy to Firefox.After this agreement, we can say that, Google is not going to continue or extend this agreement with Firefox.Then what is the future of Firefox.90% of profits will lose.And Firefox is also against Microsoft.This is the main problem in future for Firefox.So from this we can say that the future of Firefox lies in Google.
Firefox also has relationships with Amazon,Yahoo and Canonical but these won’t bring enough bucks for the development of Firefox.It is really bad news for Firefox lovers.We dont know what will happen.There are chances that,Apple may overtake Firefox or surprisingly Microsoft may overtake it.So,lets wait and see.
