Are you? 2014 is the year they signed a big deal with Yahoo. Of course they did well that year.

Better?

"Mozilla’s consolidated reported revenue (Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla Corporation and all subsidiaries) for CY 2016 was $520M (US), as compared to $421M in 2015."


You're still missing the point. FF is free. Where is the revenue coming from? I think I found my answer on your page though,

Mozilla is acting as a Google puppet. I'm sure they didn't risk breaking a 5 year deal with Yahoo for nothing.


It's not like it's a secret that Mozilla Corp. makes their money from search. It's been that way for a very long time and they spell it out right in the State of Mozilla link:

"The majority of Mozilla Corporation’s revenue is from royalties earned through Firefox web browser search partnerships and distribution deals around the world."

Their revenue is up more than $100 million from last year so they're not exactly dying.

How do you figure they're barely surviving? How does that make them a Google puppet? What exactly is your point through this thread?

If you think it's news that they take Google's money I'm not sure you're qualified to be making these sorts of claims.
