Articles > Will Firefox market share drop?

We all now that Google contributes for a very good share for Mozilla Firefox market share and profits. Google and during the last three years had a program which is called adsense for referrals, at which Google used to pay every publisher between 10 cents and one dollar for every publishers who refers a user who installs Firefox with Google toolbar for the first time on a windows machine.

Now, the bad news is: Google has stopped doing so. This happened two days ago. Google in fact has stopped their referrals program and told its current users to switch to some program called connectcommerce. Nothing is clear whether this program is going to include something which is related to Mozilla Firefox. If Not, what am sure from that both Mozilla Firefox market share and profit will drop. Probably Google profit and market share will drop too, because we used to have a win-win relationship.
