In an earlier post, Phillip said: "Lightning has 1.2M average daily 
users in total."

Does that mean that addons.mozilla.org only tracks the number of 
downloaded copies (per month?) and that four times more than that are 
using Lightning? It seems that one of those two methods for counting 
"users" is very inaccurate.

Is that 10,000 queries per day *per user* or 10,000 queries per day *per 
app*? If it's per user, how close to 10,000 queries per day does a 
typical user get?

Who would pay for this? Each user or the app owner?

I have a bad feeling about this current situation with Google.
