Mozilla, Google renew Firefox default browser deal
Published September 2nd, 2008 in Browser Security, Firefox, Google, Mozilla
Mozilla has renewed an agreement with Google Inc. that pays the browser maker for assigning Google’s search engine as Firefox’s default, Mozilla’s former CEO said this week. The three-year deal is good through November 2011, said Mitchell Baker, currently the chairwoman of Mozilla Corp., in a post to her blog on Tuesday.
"This agreement now ends in November of 2011 rather than November of 2008, so we have stability in income," she said. Mozilla generates the bulk of its income from ties to Google, according to the company’s latest financial figures. For the 2006 tax year — the most recent numbers make public by Mozilla — 85%, or about US$57 million of the company’s $67 million in annual revenues for the year, came from Google.
