Sorry, by homepage I meant typing in "www.google.com" and searching from there. Or typing google into the search bar and then getting to google, and typing the query there. Believe it or not, a lot of people still search these ways.
But yeah, def still worth it, I was just questioning the "25% of google's income" claim.
Edit: In fact, I found a source for these numbers: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Firefox-Google-Search-Box-Traffic-Bigger-than-Bing-Altogether-150576.shtml http://news.softpedia.com/news/Firefox-Google-Search-Box-Tra...
According to this [April 2010 - but I don't think firefox's market share has actually changed a lot since then], 82% of the search market is google, and 9.18% of the search market is searches from firefox via google. That puts firefox at 11% of google's searches. I think then about 8-9% of google income would be a good estimate- couldn't quickly find any data on what % of their income comes from search, but http://www.coastdigital.co.uk/news/google-gives-breakdown-of-revenue-for-the-first-time/ http://www.coastdigital.co.uk/news/google-gives-breakdown-of... shows that it def isn't 100%.
