From what I've heard (I work for Mozilla), this is promo for Firefox. As I just wrote elsewhere in this thread: I believe the idea is that Mr. Robot fans use Firefox to participate in the ARG, not that Firefox users suddenly start watching Mr. Robot. So if anything I'd expect that Mozilla pays Mr. Robot for this.

That would be an idiotic waste of money by a non-profit organisation considering the audience of Mr Robot.

The irony is that Mr. Robot is owned by Universal, a subsidiary of Comcast. So much for that commitment to net neutrality.

Google is among the worst privacy offender there is and mozilla has been sending their users towards then in return for a small share of the google mega profits.

So much for the advertised protection of user privacy.
