The Mozilla Foundation is a nonprofit, so they may not care too much about monetization.

  Even non-profits have to pay the bills somehow (I have done lots of volunteer work and read up on such things). Plus, there is a taxable Mozilla Corporation. So, somewhere, there is money being made, somehow.

    Mozilla Corporation is not for profit, which basically means that they're there to get money and pay taxes (non-profits don't pay taxes). All they need to do is pay the bills (and employees). Mozilla Foundation completely owns Mozilla Corporation and there is no shares available.

      i think you meant to type "Mozilla Corporation is FOR profit" Mozilla Foundation is NOT for profit. :-) And Mozilla Foundation owns the corporation. Also, AFAIK, the foundation can only use money from donations 'n all. The corp is used to pay employees, but can't pay the foundation much.

    They get a huge payment from google and other search engines for being in the search engine list in firefox, which constitutes most of their revenue. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2012/faq/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2012/fa...
