I thought the Mozilla Google partnership ended several years ago when they changed to Yahoo for Default search and signed a MASSIVE mutiyear deal with Yahoo. I know they terminated it (and kept the money) when Yahoo was sold to Verizon but I had not heard they signed a new deal with Google, I assume they were surviving off the Yahoo Money still

They currently have search deal with google. This was disclosed in their yearly financial statements. ~90% of their revenue comes from google. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3487825/mozilla-in-trouble-2018-revenue-fell-20-expenses-exceed-income-for-first-time.html https://www.computerworld.com/article/3487825/mozilla-in-tro...

Cadence's point is very valid. Mozilla gets funding by charging search engines to be the default in Firefox and that isn't changing anytime soon. I wish people didn't instinctively downvote when someone is wrong on a technicality, but this is a site filled with nerds after all lol EDIT: i guess he isnt even technically wrong.

The default is still Google. The search deal with Google is where the vast majority of their budget comes from.
