In return for setting Google as the default search engine on Firefox, Google pays Mozilla a substantial sum - in 2006 the total amounted to around $57 million, or 85% of the company’s total revenue. The deal was originally going to expire in 2006, but was later extended to 2008 and will now run through 2011.

In fx it’s easy enough to change/add search engines, so it’s no big deal.

what will firefox do if google succeeds with their browser?

It’s a nice browser, fast too, but it’s a long way to go before it reaches the customisation/abilities/development potential fx has.
