Revenues for the organization behind the open-source Firefox browser were up 12 percent to $75 million, with search-related royalties from Google accounting for 88 percent of the total, or $66 million. (Another $2 million or so came from other search engines). Those revenues come from Mozilla’s portion of the search advertising revenues generated by the default Google search box in the Firefox browser.
Google’s overall percentage of Mozilla’s revenues is even bigger than it was in 2006, when it accounted for 85 percent.

Firefox 2 was announced as finalists in the 2008 IDSA (International Design Excellence Awards) in the Interactive Product Experiences category. The IDSA is the voice of the industrial design profession, advancing the quality and positive impact of design.

Here's a quick overview of the survey:
This survey was released on the 23rd of September and was available to 10% of FF3 updaters of both 3.02 and 3.03 in 10 locales, including: Japan, China, France, UK, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Poland, Germany and the United States. The basic goal of this survey was to create a standard the Marketing Team can use to periodically measure our users' awareness, usage habits and attitude towards the Firefox, a goal that I think we achieved.

Ubuntu (and about every Linux distribution) ships with Firefox already installed so users are not prompted with the EULA at any time. Mozilla wants Ubuntu 8.10 (due next month) to include a patch to display the EULA on its first run to ensure users sign the EULA, which as said before doesn’t mean most of them will actually read it. Instead, most of them, will just click on whatever they need to.
Point one: why include an annoying EULA prompt?
There are two other points: does an open source product needs an EULA?, and, are the terms of the EULA appropriate?
