Ah, right you are. That's what I get for skimming. I suppose this is the same strategy as using all caps in 419 emails. Savvy users are a waste of effort, better to chase them off early.

How can they actively bring a loss, though?

Does the power and bandwidth needed to have the server serve Firefox users cost more than Firefox users bring in over all?
