    "We had a huge launch on September 1st of this year where we completely redesigned our application from the grounds up and also migrated to a new platform (React.JS). This project took us 8 months and the launch was a huge deal for the team. Unfortunately the launch wasn't as smooth as we expected and despite doing multiple rounds of QA, some major issues cropped up in the core part of the app right after launch and our client was quite upset since it was disrupting their day-to-day workflow.

There are probably two reasons why Google would bid to maintain its place as the default search engine on Firefox: the first, Firefox is a popular web browser, with many users, and Google wants to retain the large user base who search on Firefox.
