Mozilla一直在为推广Booking.com网站通过Firefox新标签页上的一段代码。与猜测相反，Mozilla告诉我们“零资金易手”，而且Firefox没有与任何人共享任何数据Booking.com网站，而代码片段不是目标。

这一切都非常有趣，因为Mozilla之前的声明并没有对这一点做太多的澄清。尽管Mozilla声称这个“实验”不是广告或付费广告，但Firefox用户猜测Mozilla与Firefox有关联关系Booking.com网站每当Firefox用户预订酒店时，Mozilla就会收到付款。Mozilla的Ellen C****e告诉我们事实并非如此：

There are no loopholes here. This was not a paid placement or advertisement and Mozilla did not make money off an affiliate relati***hip. Again, this was simply an effort to provide unique value to Firefox users. Zero money changed hands in either direction.

一些Firefox用户还推测，Mozilla是根据用户的浏览活动来定位这条消息的，也许是使用了新的“上下文功能推荐器”功能。不过，卡纳尔也告诉我们，没有针对性：

The offer was provided to users with browsers set to the english language. There was no targeting based on user activity.

埃伦还澄清说，Firefox从未与任何人共享任何数据Booking.com网站. 唯一的数据Booking.com网站获取输入的数据Booking.com网站.

Similar to transacti*** on most websites, if a user clicked through to Booking.com Firefox page from the snippet, and then decided to book a hotel room, they would have provided their information to secure the booking and the discount. Only at this point is the user entering into a relati***hip with Booking.com. There was no sharing of user data between Firefox and Booking.com.

我们询问Mozilla是否有计划在将来接受对代码片段消息的付款，但我们没有收到进一步的答复。我们还联系了Booking.com网站但也没有回应。

所以，这确实是一个“实验”，Mozilla没有收到任何形式的付款。这似乎很奇怪，很多Firefox用户很难相信。但Mozilla表示，其目标只是“为Firefox用户提供更多价值”
