User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: Firefox 3 beta 3

if the user clicks on a website icon (in the location box) he can see some
information about the website, add there a link to "find Similar pages"

for example:
if you are on www.cnn.com/ you click on a website icon, and then click on "find Similar pages". 
then you will get this result:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=related:www.cnn.com/

mozilla can even earn money form that feature

I think that should (at least first) be implemented as an extension, rather than earn money.

Even if it is implemented in Firefox, it should be customizable, and allow several other services than just Google.

I agree. Anyway if you can change the url, you can also put some url that doesn't find similar sites, so you should also be able to change the link string, and to add other links. This idea could be applied also to evidenced text.

This should be in an extension.
