In order to properly Market Mozilla, you have to reach technology "fame" status.
 Zip drives became famous because of Iomega's marketing at technology expos. 
So, if you want to reach such a status of "fame" with Mozilla, you have to reach
the technology enthusiasts at technology expos.  I would pay for a booth and
give out CD's with Mozilla and other Mozilla products on them in mass.  A
technology demonstration, if possible, of a side by side comparison of Mozilla
and Internet Explorer surfing a slow 56k connection would also be necessary. 
Market speed, security, increased internet productivity, customizations, and all
the positive aspects of being open source.  If Mozilla ever reaches "embed"
status of a COM control I would heavily market it.  Technology expos are just
that, expositions, so save the best demonstrations and marketing for the expos.
 They are there for you to make a statement.

Being in Seoul, South Korea, right now, I've visited one of the shopping musts:
the Yongsan Electronics Market

Just imagine a technology expo which is open all around the year, displaying the
best of electronics technology, ranging from computer, software to TVs and
fridges. Of course, Computers are the biggest part of it. I have no idea
however, how to persuade those vendors to start displaying Mozilla instead of
IE, my Korean is much too basic to do the convincing work. Anybody from Korea
has an idea?
