If your browser is Firefox and search engine is Google, this is for you.

So, we have the big players in browser and online search market shaking hands in a collaboration that would mean, you do not have to setup your favorite Google search as the default browser page if you are a dedicated Mozilla Firefox user. Google, Mozilla Firefox

It's amazing to see these browser rivals now joining hands to welcome a collaboration of this caliber and allow Google to occupy even bigger search market than its potential Microsoft counterparts, Yahoo and Bing. "By monetizing through the browser search bar alone, a target $1 billion market is aimed at," says IDC's Hilwa.

But with the latest list of companies bought by Google this past year, it seeks a profitable partnership with Mozilla by renewing its contract with them.
