Firefox and Google (self.firefox)

Curious what others' thoughts are about the monopoly ruling for Google and potential effects on Firefox. Last I knew the fix was not determined yet, but with Firefox's main source of income being from Google paying them to Goolge their default search, makes me wonder if lawsuits like this could actually backfire on current competition and not actually produce a more competitive environment. Not sure how Firefox could recover if the courts ruling would be Google can't make these deals.

Whilst I'd like to see some kind of revival, or even revolution, in the browser market here - it does look as if Mozilla are setting out a future business plan which simply does not include Firefox... and if Firefox dips below 2% it will be sidelined as an alternative browser no longer supported.
