Maybe a good idea would be to do something like the 1 page ad in the NYT Firefox did, to raise awareness of the fact that the Wikimedia Foundation needs donations. Generally people who read the New York Times can afford to spare a few bucks...
Is the Firefox project fully and technically a non-profit? If so, perhaps approaching them, given their financial windfall, to see about placing a simple "You can use [HTML link to download Firefox] to edit Wikipedia" link in the global footer in exchange for a pledge of annual contributions in x amount? Such a link could be exempt from the nofollow.
If they're a non-profit, this could be a good thing. Additional revenue for free for WP, and additional traffic (substantial) for Firefox.
