    Sure it's legal: it's called arbitrage.

    I haven't heard of it not being legal. I'll have to look for myself.

    letsjoy,

    You're assumption above is incorrect. They're not intending to do that. They alway advertise FF with G toolbar b/c simply the other tabbed browsers (like SmartBro (mine), Avant, Maxthon) have problems with integrating Google toolbar with the application. So it's kind of "Get FireFox and Get the Google Toolbar" we have it all.

    It's not related to adsense, I guess.

    I seen this too with an advertiser on my site, when you search for Firefox related terms, his ad pops up at the top leading to his page..quite clever and he seems to be doing alright with it hehe..

    Try the search with term "Firefox" here but please dont click on the ad, seriously. If you want to see his landing page it's here.

    SERIOUSLY, DON'T BE A JERK AN CLICK ON HIS AD CAUSE THEN I HAVE TRACE ALL HIT FROM DP AND RECREDIT HIS ACCOUNT. Thanks
