Exactly. In addition, some people looking for an ODF viewer will be
happy to use one that also happens to be a good browser.

I'm sure that, at least in the short term, ODF has more to gain from FF
than FF from ODF. But there's nothing wrong with that, FF would still
gain.

We can point out that the Fellowship is doing all the work, in the form
of a Firefox plugin. Firefox only has to ship with this plugin installed
by default. Not much work involved.

Cheers,
Daniel.
