I really love what Mozilla is doing and they would be pretty close to #1 on my trusted companies list. Sadly, the post is so misleading and borderline dishonest that it just makes them seem a bit less trustful. I mean, the study's categorization is seriously arbitrary and for example Microsoft, which is a direct Mozilla competitor, is ranked higher overall but isn't in the same category. Also, Google (another Mozilla competitor) wasn't ranked this year, but they were rank 19 last year (Mozilla is 20)... This is really a good example that you'll always find a way to segment your data so you can push your agenda.

As someone already mentioned these end-user surveys seem to be closer to popularity contests. I have no doubt MS, Google, Apple etc are astronomically more popular than Mozilla and will rank higher based on name recognition. These results probably do hold another meaning but it would take someone better than me at testing to figure that out.
