Firefox seems Mozilla Corporation gained 72 million dollars

that? Is not Mozilla a not-for-profit organization? I thought that you are misunderstanding ... That is an old story. Now there is a new company for commercial purposes "Mozilla Corporation".

Details are as follows.Mozilla Foundation establishes a new company for commercial purposes "Mozilla Corporation"

It is unclear what kind of basis it is that 72 million dollars. However, I know the structure that will generate revenue.

Technoogle >> Blog Archive >> Mozilla is making money from Firefox

First install Firefox and there is a separate bar for search only. This is the source of income. When using this search and clicking on Google's advertisement displayed in the search result, roughly 80% will be the profit of Mozilla Corporation. If the advertiser's advertisement is set to 10 yen per click, then 8 yen will be posted to Mozilla Corporation and the remaining 2 yen will be to Google.

Actually, the unit price is quite different depending on the advertisement, I have also advertised, but depending on the genre one click 100 yen, if cheaper it is around 10 yen. But what did you do if you accumulate dust ... No, I guess that ... I mean, I thought this was knowledge of the category of common sense (it would be profitable when searching with Firefox), apparently overseas So most users seemed to have not known about this, shocks are running.

If you add it, the Firefox referral program that exists as part of the Google Adsense program is the same as well, it is not counted only by being downloaded and installed, and payment to the introducer every time it is used one more day It is a structure to be seen. So, if you can not continue using it, that affiliate will not be profitable. It uses Google's cookie, and the Google Toolbar for Firefox, which is included by default, is behind it, and it's a specification to get cookies from Google even if you do not search it just by launching.

So, it is important to use 72 million dollars.

Mozilla Foundation reorganization

Will revenue (or part of it) from Mozilla Corporation be returned as funds for the Mozilla Foundation to achieve further goals?
Whether it is a charitable contribution to the Mozilla Foundation or a revenue from Mozilla Corporation, all income from the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation, regardless of whether it is managed by the Mozilla Foundation or Mozilla Corporation, for further mission of the Foundation will be used.

By the way, there are 36 employees, headquartered in Mountain View, California. This revenue structure by Firefox has long been known for a long time in Japan. You use not only Google but Amazon, too.

Shigeru Fumi Note: Affiliate with Firefox's search bar

Shigerumi Memo: Amazon Associate ID of Firefox 1.0.1, 1.0.2

Indeed, installing Firefox with kindness on someone's computer and making an associate ID etc. on the search result at that time make it your own thing ... That means that the person who supports the personal computer has unexpectedly got such a mechanism Even if you apply it all to personal computers in a PC classroom or incorporate similar mechanisms into computers of home appliance mass retailers, or try Internet cafe as well, the possibilities will expand to infinity anymore It may be a violation)

[☆] Affiliate ID is attached when using Amazon search bar in browser

It seems there was a time when Opera did the same thing. How about now? Also, is famous as well Sleipnir 2 is also an example.
