> It exists due to Google's funding. Mozilla barely makes much else otherwise.

Does Mozilla breakdown what % of Google revenue is going towards Firefox development?



> what %

~80%


In 2021 they had 600m in revenue and spent 199m on software development. I am not sure if they break software development out to Firefox and all the other things (eg. Pocket).

So at least in 2021 at best it was 30% of revenue on developing Firefox. They spent 30m on marketing and branding.

I'm on mobile and this PDF is notoriously hard to navigate here. What did they spend the other $370m on!?


total expenses are 340M, 200M for software dev, 27M for other program services (everyone else working on software but who's not a developer?), 30M for marketing, 81M for "general and administrative"

They have 370M in bank if I read correctly. And further 680M worth of various financial instruments like securities etc.


For starters a nice CEO pay package so that they do not have to live in squalor of course!
