Robster,
The link makes no reference to FireFox at all, please shed more light on this referral scheme

 

[Robster]

Its the second item on the page

"International publishers can now refer users to Firefox plus Google Toolbar through the AdSense referrals feature. As you connect your users with Firefox to improve their web browsing experience, you can generate earnings - up to US$1 for each new Firefox user who downloads and runs the product for the first time. To add a Firefox referral button to your site today, visit the 'Referrals' tab in your account."

Yeah Google are doing it coz its bundled with their toolbar which means $$ for them and generally they are fans of open source software.

This scheme should really give Firefox a helping hand considering how many adsense publishers there are.

Google are positioning themselves to rebrand firefox as Gbrowser.

I think you might be right, what with the release of Google Analytics, is it possible that they want more surfing information?

Google gain MASSES of information about websites from their toolbar.
