Do you realize the "Firefox Start Page" is put up by Google and Mozilla 
get *a lot* of money from Google to put it as default?

I am against putting free advertising in the distro for a commercial,

search box in Firefox, no need to visit google.com

Right now the default home page in Firefox is an introduction useful for
