four thousand !!
Over 4,000 people have contributed to the Firefox NYT ad campaign. Amazing! If you'd like to be a part of this once in a lifetime event -- and get your name published in the New York Times (we'll notify you the day the ad runs,) then head over to the donation page and give $30 to help fund the full-page ad.
Will donors get a copy of the ad? A scan? A something?
Or is the NYTimes just going to have their archive for that day exhausted?

- How will I know when the ad runs?
On the day that the ad runs, you will receive an email with a high-resolution PDF file of the final layout. You may want to purchase a copy of the newspaper, or have the PDF printed and framed. The ad will not run on the day Firefox 1.0 comes out -- we get better pricing if we provide a 3-week window of time rather than an exact date.
Sounds like they have collected more money than is necessary for a full-page add. If this is true, or will be true at some point, what happens to the excess?

The money raised during the advocacy ad campaign will be used for launch activities and development of Firefox 1.0.
...
Any additional money that this campaign raises will go to keep the Mozilla Foundation staff working hard on delivering useful and reliable features for you -- advocates of innovative software.
Actually, it'd be cool if you could notify the whole community when it runs, so we can buy that day's paper. :)

I wonder if NYT referral student signup (10 dollar) also credits sfx account with point same way like referral from non-student (30 dollar).
Thank you.

I think, that that NYT ad should read "Vanity fair, redefined!" right below the word "Firefox".
