There have been a few Firefox commercials on cable television that aired during season 3 of Mr. Robot.

Maybe I'm just out of touch, but what target demo is still watching cable television instead of watching TV shows online? The last time I saw people sitting around a television (with a television station on it), I was visiting a nursing home.
Their target market is internet users who can install a browser. This include markets outside of yourself and nursing homes, and includes the audience of Mr Robot.
They have/had campaigns run on YouTube, you can watch them on their channel.
I'm sure the ads exist. I'm questioning their value. If nobody sees the ads unless they go looking for the ads, then what value are they?
