Mozilla Opens its Books

SOA & WOA Magazine

Mozilla's revenues - that's the Mozilla Foundation and all subsidiaries - did $78.6 million last year, up 5%.

As a gauge, its 2007 over 2006 was up 12%.

Most of the money comes from Google of course though now it has its own browser, plus Yahoo, Amazon and eBay. Its deal with Google runs through 2011. Mozilla's total assets at the end of last year were $116 million, up 17%. The IRS is still auditing Mozilla's books from '04-'07.

Firefox is reportedly the dominant browser in Indonesia, Slovenia, Macedonia, the Philippines, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Ghana and now claims 330 million users worldwide or 25% of the market.

It just pushed out a belated Thunderbird 3 RC1 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
