From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No. Mozilla is a nonprofit that includes Firefox, but is not Firefox.
Bias is one of the first things anyone learns in statistics, they didn't just poll Firefox users to figure out who likes browser choice. The article says who they polled.
neither the article nor the research their pulling from does tho? all i see is "people"
There's a link to the actual report in the article, which has further links to the documents used in the survey.
To be specific, this wasn't a traditional questionnaire, they made limited-functionality desktop environments and had people try out different options.
The link in the article.
i looked over that one, no wonder i found it so confusing (maybe my limited knowledge of english got in the way?) thanks for clarifying
No worries. Its an interesting study, and Mozilla does good work.
