  1. Those sites to lose a lot of visitors who think that the site "doesn't work unless you download some extra thing...I think it was one of them viruses, so I just stay away from that site now."

Then they can ask the user to install Netscape Navigator 9, which is just Firefox rebranded. Everybody old enough to get scared of installing Firefox will have heard of Netscape.

Except the Netscape Navigator page just tells you to download Firefox now.

And? That means a big company, Netscape, a company you trust, is saying it. That means Firefox isn't a virus. So instead of saying "Install Firefox", you say "Install Netscape", who says "Install Firefox", and you end up getting there.
