Hi, Because of the Operating agreement of Amazon affiliates [1] the firefox extension [2] which makes gnome automatically a referrer is limited.
1) It cannot overwrite existing referrers. (E.g. the search box in firefox makes mozilla the referrer on windows and in ubuntu canonical is the referrer) 2) It cannot put referrers in if the user is already on the amazon site Number 1 we can over come by asking people to install an amazon gnome search engine and remove the other search engine, but I think that's cumbersome for most users. Does anybody know if you can replace search engines from a firefox extension? Another idea could be to open Friend of GNOME amazon store. I've made one as an example on http://gnome.haitsma.org/friends/amazon/ If we motivate people to use that store to buy their books, dvds, computers etc. the foundation can also raise significant money. What do you think of this?
