Google is quaking in the boots.

I love it... not sure the users will.  lets hope.

We have had a monoculture in default browser search engines for a long time. It is a pity there is not more competition.

We have a population that is so stupid they don't know how to change a default.

It keeps the uprisings down.

It will be interesting to see what Yahoo considers a nice clean, modern serp to present to FF users.

Anybody know the latest stats in the browser wars? 

IE by 5 furlongs, then Chrome nosing ahead of FF

is FF the default browser on anything? Because being the default SE on a browser that only people bright enough to know how to change a default will ever use doesn't sound like a ground breaking business plan to me.

Only on most of the popular Linux distros, as far as I know.

Yeah, I don't know too many Linux users who will be into using Y for search.  It would have been interesting if they chose DDG.
