    Are you using any technique to replace the Firefox refferal with other ad in case the visitor is using Firefox browser?

    You would need to use an ad serving solution that can serve ads based on browser type. There were some publishers who wouldn't allow people to view their sites if they were using any other browser than Firefox, and showing them the Firefox referral button instead. (That is against the terms incase anyone thinks it is a brilliant idea :p)

    I did not understand this. What is brilliant in not allowing people to view their sites. You seem to lose visitors which is more important in the long term imo.

    I don't know what kind of website you're running but I have a Forum. There is a vBulletin hack that when a firefox user is on your forums it does not show that advertisement.

    Use this PHP code

    if(!preg_match('|Firefox/([0-9\.]+)|',$useragent,$matched)) {
    //Show your Firefox adsense code hee
    }else{
    //Show other ad code here
    }

    Hope it help!

    I just threw together a simple ecma script to display a banner for the IE users which sits in my <head>, then you dont even need to use PHP...

    Oh and mine is prettier than the explorer destroyer one :D overlaid semi-transparent div :D

    With Yahoo supporting IE7, do you think they'd pay for you to refer users to download IE7 with all the search boxes and toolbars built-in ready to use?

    Its the only reason Google supports Firefox AFAIK. Its all about money.

    I have the ad code refferals on static html. I could use:
    <!--[if IE]>Show FireFox add<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]><-->Show other add<!--><![endif]-->
    Code (markup):
    This is neat, but will display the Firefox refferals only for IE users.
