Is Mozilla Really Getting $300 Million from Google?

"There is a report out that claims that the renewed Google Mozilla deal is worth $300 per year.

WHAT? Yup I did a double take when I saw that figure too. Sure I'm a believer in Mozilla, but $300 million sure does seem like an obscene amount amount...or does it?

The Google search deal - as I understood it in the past - paid Mozilla certain amount of money on a per search query basis. In 2010, Google paid Mozilla $123 Million so the new deal could be a 3-fold increase.
