So if you want FireFox to stay as "secure" as it is, you really don't want it to become so popular that it becomes a target.

Done already and made official. And secure by design. Remember the Google partnership? Guess what, when you do a google search from the integrated search tab, google prefetches the first websites found. Wich means that you end up with cookies from websites you never visited. You can of course disable that from the about
: box, but that's as geeky a manipulation as handling source code by kiddies...
That prefetching and the lack of a "mass installer" to allow for simultaneous installations are slowing down corporate acceptance to a crawl. They're doing the latter, however disabling the earlier seems not to be in their favour.
Mozilla foundation was making about 2 millions from donations and sales. Google hands them 30 millions yearly to accept their "contribution".
