What happens when you try to download Firefox?

I just tested and none of the pop-ups appear when searching "download Firefox"

They know most people who don't know one way or the other are downloading chrome just because that's what they heard to do. They also know anyone downloading firefox is doing so for a reason and won't be dissuaded by pop-ups.
