Mozilla I think gets millions from google. At least they did at one point in a deal to set google as a default engine.

They do. The majority of Mozilla's funding is from Google. That said, they're still our best hope. I'm sure Firefox has constant internal conversations about how to handle their relationship with Google, and they probably have standing offers from many others to switch to a different search engine.
