I wonder how this will affect Mozilla, since the search engine deal.
- e15ctr0n 11y agoMozilla earns about $300 million a year from their deal with Yahoo. The deal runs for five years from Dec 2014 through Dec 2019.[1] When the money from Yahoo runs dry Mozilla will have to go back to Google or Microsoft for a new search deal which will bring in much less than before because Firefox browser share has been falling about 3.7% a year since 2010.[2] Mozilla will be forced to shutter projects and shed staff.
