When vice-presidents of Mozilla were asked, along the years since it was signed, what was the exact content of the contract signed with Google, all of them answered "I don't know. I havent read it."

Who in the world read the contract Mozilla and Google signed together?

Who has a single clue of what has been in there? And subsequently how can we trust Mozilla in such conditions? How didn't it doom itself to never be in a position to compete meaningfully with Chrome, buying itself time and/or a comfortable mattress of $$$?

Who can tell the Google+Mozilla contract DOESNT contain the following:

  • Firefox shall never include adblock technology as a default
  • Firefox shall always "feel lucky" with Google
  • Firefox shall always "phone home" to Google with "safe browsing" etc.

How can we know the billion $$$ of Google didnt serve to make sure that Firefox would never be the browser that th people actually need to protect themselves against.... Google?
