Sorry, I thought it was common knowledge that the Mozilla Foundation gets a huge income stream from Google. $300million / year until 2014 according to Wikipedia

  I'm not sure where the $300 million number comes from (yes, I know you said "Wikipedia", but there are lots of pages on Wikipedia, and neither the Mozilla page nor the Firefox page supports anything close to that number, nor does Mozilla's most recent annual report -- in fact, Mozilla's total annual revenue is only around $160 million.) And the whole point of Google paying Mozilla is that that money is less than the search revenue Google derives from people using Mozilla's browser, which also suggests that its less per user than Google would derive from people using Google's browser -- or, IOW, that the the Google has more to gain by spending additional money on development, assuming they acheive as much in terms of attracting users.

    Is there a Wikipedia equivalent of 'Let Me Google That For You' ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation You can see their income statement from 2011 on their webpages: TechCrunch reported them here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/15/mozilla-releases-annual-report-for-2011-revenue-up-33-to-163m-majority-from-google/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/15/mozilla-releases-annual-rep...
