Cute, but never going to happen. Partly due to politics, but also, don't Firefox get revenue for their search bar referrals? I imagine their partners (Google, Amazon) would get stroppy if Mozilla accept the referral money, then actively work to prevent those partners from earning money (via ads).

Do referrals of clients with ad blocking enabled not generate fees for Mozilla? Also, Mozilla is a non-profit foundation, so providing users some small relief from advertising seems entirely consistent with serving the public interest. The promise, at least, of commercial free television and radio was a primary pitch of public broadcasting for decades.
