I work at Mozilla and the revenue of the company is directly related to how much search traffic Firefox sends to Google. If the query parameters don't say that the search came from Firefox Google has no way of knowing where the traffic came from.

We're a non profit and depend on the revenue to pay our employees and keep the lights on. It looks like this add-on gets ~1250 weekly downloads (as of 8/12) and this could add up to a non-trivial amount of search traffic.

Please consider adding these parameters - and help support the browser we all love.
