Mozilla and Google Sign New Agreement for Default Search in Firefox

You really think people are going to change their browser just because their favorite search engine is not the default? It takes exactly two "clicks" of the mouse to change the default search engine in Firefox.

Mozilla would switch away from Google in a heartbeat if the money was right.

If Mozilla switched Firefox's default search engine from Google to Bing, I would how many Firefox users would manually switch back to Google. I also wonder how many users would even realize that they were using Bing instead of Google. <:)

I doubt many people would bother I change it back unless they started getting really bad results to queries. Bing is a pretty solid search engine, most wouldn't really notice a quality change.

Nah, most people would search bing for google.com.
