   That would be awesome if Firefox became the browser of the PS3. It'd be much less likely Hulu would block that, if it meant cutting off a large part of their pc audience that also use firefox.

   Hulu probably blocks based on the platform detected, not simply the browser.

   Well, the PS3 browser is already Mozilla-based. It just won't be an outdated version anymore.

   "Unfortunately, that growth has tapered off dramatically in the last couple of years."

   It's not really unfortunate. We don't optimize for revenue and we're doing quite OK with the revenue we are generating today. We're growing as fast as ever by building an always improving Web browser that more than 300 million people love using. That's where we optimize.

   If we wanted to optimize for revenue, we'd sell search to the highest bidder and make orders of magnitude more money, but that's not what we're about. We're about providing the best possible experience to the largest possible audience and I think Firefox is doing quite well at that.

   This is probably a rumor. If this is happening, it's all Sony. Mozilla is not involved. Then again, because Firefox is open source, Sony is free to take our code and do great things with it. I think Firefox would make a fine PS3 browser.

   No, it really isn't. It's the craptastic NetFront browser used on many cell phones.

    Nobody really uses the PS3 for browsing the net. PS3 was design to do 2 things ( PLay Games and Blu-Ray. That's why we have Pc's to do that.
