Google will not end that deal like that. Even though firefox is a browser with small marketshare, being the default searchengine has its own merits. As soon as google stepsdown , microsoft (bing ) or other search engines will compete for that. Plus , having google in more places will help them lessen the grips of anti-trust lawsuits too.
