An Australian PC retailer has come up with a novel way of supporting the
'alternative' software movement.
Tekfix
Computing Solutions is offering a discount on products purchased online
using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer.
The firm has the backing of
Google and
the
Mozilla
Foundation to switch internet users to the open source browser.
"We are looking to give people an opportunity to get away from the built-in
browser that comes with Windows," said Tony Schirmer, marketing manager at
Tekfix.
"In my experience Mozilla has provided more security and a better overall
experience when browsing the internet. We want to reward people who take the
next step and try the browser for themselves."
A five per cent discount is available when Firefox is detected on the coupon
code entry, leaving all other shoppers with the full fee.
The move follows a similar effort by Google, which introduced paid referrals
into its AdSense system, allowing any AdSense publisher to earn money from
referring users to Firefox provided it contains the Google Toolbar.
The non-profit Mozilla Foundation has recently released the
second Firefox 3
beta for testing.
