Thanks, Ryan. When you guys would like Mozilla to make this switch to HTTPS, you can just reopen Firefox bug 758857. chris On 6/19/12 10:35 AM, Ryan Lane wrote:

These would not be additional search queries, just requests moving from HTTP to HTTPS servers. My math: I don't have have good numbers regarding Firefox's search box queries, but I saw a Firefox usability report which estimates that only about 8% of Firefox users haved used a non-default search engine (i.e. not Google, but not necessarily Wikipedia) from Firefox's search box. Page [1] says Wikipedia received about 18.0 billion page requests in May. Page [2] says about 22% of Wikipedia requests are from Firefox users. So a very generous upper limit might be: 18B requests/May * 22% Wikipedia users * 8% non-Google Firefox searches = (18,000M / 31 days) * .22 * .08 = ~10 million Firefox search queries per day [1] https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/06/14/wikimedia-highlights-may-2012/#more-1… [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Wikimedia_.28Apri… chris
