530M out of 600M of their revenue is from royalties, so from a certain perspective Mozilla's primary business is actually serving Google to FF users :/ They spend 111M out of 340M on managerial overhead, or about a third. This is on the higher side, but not too much out of line with the general industry (not saying that it's a good thing, but that's how the world works). I have to wonder though, how much of that money is actually spent on Firefox? 530M in royalties, how much is that per FF user?

It's a sad state of the large, useful search engine industry that they're faced with a lesser-of-two-evils choice for default search engine (thus driving royalties), between Google or Bing. Unless anybody is smoking something really strong and suggests something like baidu search or yandex search.

There's a line item that suggests approximately 200 million goes to the software development program (which is the Foundation, MZLA, and Mozilla Corp combined), but I can't tell how much is spent on Firefox itself.
