The traditional chinese language (zh-TW) edition however is not bundled with Baidu search engine by default.
The details of the deal is unknown as its an undisclosed amount. Firefox Chinese edition (zh-CN) comes with Baidu search engine by default in which users will not be seeing any differences coming from this deal. From now on, users can get the latest version of Firefox zh-CN edition (2.0.0.10 above version) and enjoy Baidu search services.
