Mozilla could add the OpenStreetMap to its search options in the Firefox 
browser. There is already Wikipedia among these options.

Now if one wants to search for a location on the map he/she has to open 
first the OSM website in the Firefox browser and only then make a 
search. But if the OSM is included in the Firefox search box, there 
could be a direct search of a location in one step.

There is already de fact cooperation between OSM and Wikimedia. For 
example, one can add a photo of an object to a Wikimedia general 
category like a town of "Chippis 
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Chippis>" and then add this 
image to a respective object on the OSM map: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/242736881#map=19/46.28035/7.54053 even 
though there is no article yet for this roman-catholic church in 
Wikipedia. And Wikipedia provides return links from a photo's 
geographical coordinates to the location on the OSM map.

Why not start first de facto cooperation between OSM and Mozilla and see 
if it works?

Best regards,
Oleksiy
