Does Firefox make money?

Money:

I recently read that Firefox has made its ‘owners’ $76 million in the last year. Not bad for a piece of free software! So how do they do it?

The answer is simple…. everytime we use the search window so neatly supplied, and we use google and we actually go on to buy something google pays Firefox 80% of the click through value!

Wonder if Microsoft have a similar deal with IE 7 and the Google search!

I agree. There is no need to hate because I am sure they worked like crazy to get where they are at. Congrats to them. Firefox is quite a good browser.

Why is it bad that they or anyone else is making a profit from the products of their labor?

# re: Does Firefox make money? 3/31/2008 5:58 AM TranceBoy

:) yeah i agree anything but safari and IE!! i was arguing with a web developer for the company i work for and its like this...

firefox is supported by Linux Mac os and Windows! they obviously have something going for them, especially since the app is free and runs fast as hell and who can forget about the ad block plus! :)

They deserv every penny for it!

-TB~!

Jim Smith, ; The Man, Howard I Have a message for U..... When U work for someone ... that someone is paying U.. WOULD U DIMWITS WORK FOR FREE ??

Firefox is really an impressive piece of software made by some of the finest software people out there who in turn need to be payed for doing their job..

Instead of just criticizing WHILE U UR SELVES USE PIRATED SOFTWARE ... try to appreciate the good

Jim, stop being an idiot... go use IE... Firefox took a lot of work. Others like Netscape withered & died... And I am glad I have Firefox for free.

thx

Great way to make money! I was wondering, is it sufficient to keep Mozilla running given that they have some many other free products with out any search box.

# re: Does Firefox make money? 2/8/2010 12:31 AM dhanabalan89

# re: Does Firefox make money? 8/27/2010 6:37 PM iGalin

coldtusker,
Netscape source code was the base for Mozilla Firefox.
or in other words Netscape decided to go public and open-source under Mozilla foundation and Firefox name.
