Mozilla has its revenue in the past year, with over 19 percent rise. Especially rivals Google and Microsoft pay the Firefox-producer hefty fees for routing users to their websites, allows Mozilla.
The majority of the turnover of the Mozilla Foundation comes from the search functionality included in our Firefox product through all major search engines, including Google and Microsoft. They paid the foundation last year, about 121 million dollars in royalties, about 98 percent of the total revenue and an increase of over 19 percent in comparison with the prior year. The companies pay Mozilla primarily for the conveyance of Firefox users to their search engines. In particular, Google made a huge sum of money in the bag; last year, the company was responsible for 84 percent of the revenue.
The contract between the two ends in november, and the question is whether Google, the market share of its own browser, Chrome looks to grow, so much money in the producer of competitor Firefox will remain stuck. “We have every confidence that agreements with search engines in the future, a solid source of income for Mozilla to continue,” writes the organization. Mozilla investigates to say that they do in other sources of revenue. What that is, remains unclear.
