WikiPedia says:
On December 20, 2011, Mozilla announced that the
contract [ with Google ] was once again renewed for
at least three years to November 2014, at three times
the amount previously paid, or nearly US$300 million annually.

Google will also become our new default search
provider in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Firefox default search providers in other regions are
Yandex in Russia, Turkey, Belarus and Kazakhstan;
Baidu in China; and Google in the rest of the world.

other browser with more than 60 search providers
pre-installed across more than 90 languages.
