Talk:Mozilla Corporation

Untitled
I pruned the list of employees down just to the people who had WP articles on them, and I think that should be the standard for future edits. Not longer was the old list no longer accurate (didn't include me, for instance!), but it also had a bunch of private persons that should remain so. Stan 07:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Why does the Mozilla article come up when the url for the article about Christopher Beard is entered in Internet Explorer?
Why does the Mozilla article come up when the url for the article about Christopher Beard, the pastor who recently resigned from New Life Church, is entered in Internet Explorer? Is this an error or is someone playing games? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.148.92.18 (talk) 16:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC).


 * There's also a Christopher Beard who is an executive at Mozilla. guanxi (talk) 19:26, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

History/creation
Who actually founded the Mozilla Corporation and When? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.250.0.104 (talk) 00:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Products?
The infobox says that the Mozilla Corporation's products are Firefox, Thunderbird and "more" with a link to List of Mozilla products. I was under the impression that MozCo was just for Firefox and Thunderbird (and seems like soon only Firefox)... any clarification? The article isn't entirely conclusive.

Mention of Download Day in the Notable Events section?
Would a mention of this "sub-event" of the release of Firefox 3 be appropriate? Download day is discussed in the Firefox 3 article, but it seems that it is notable enough to be worth mentioning in that same bullet on this article. 71.255.126.75 (talk) 05:13, 9 May 2009 (UTC) -- above comment made by me without realizing I was logged out.

Engineering operations
Do company employees fix bugs in Firefox and Seamonkey? Do they add new features? Or is that relegated to non-employees? -- Beland (talk) 16:52, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * More employees than anyone else, but many others contribute. There is also a large community of volunteers, and some companies pay their employees to work on Firefox, for various reasons. You can find more info here. guanxi (talk) 19:41, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Profit?
The article doesn't mention what they sell? thunderbird and firefox are free...how do they make profit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnOicheGhealai (talk • contribs) 21:16, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It's complicated, but Mozilla in general is a non-profit. Mozilla Corp. is a for-profit subsidiary, which exists because they use revenue it generates (mostly through revenue Google shares from searches done through Firefox) to further their mission. Mozilla's aim is to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the web. See here for more. guanxi (talk) 19:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of how they make money is from Google partnership which the article explains runs out in November 2011 (already past). Possibly they've renewed that partnership? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unixman83 (talk • contribs) 10:05, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

No longer make Thunderbird?
Isn't Thunderbird now developed by Mozilla Messaging and not the Mozilla Corp.? I thought that was the whole point of Moz. Messaging. guanxi (talk) 15:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

How does Mozilla Corp. Make Money after Google Partnership Dries up?
I am concerned as to how Mozilla intends to keep financing itself once the Google deal dries up, especially now that they are no longer the second place browser (Google's Chrome is). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unixman83 (talk • contribs) 10:09, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

2nd reference is not available
I don't think ~ 600 employees is the right number 212.52.54.21 (talk) 18:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)arju

I tried to edit the sources to the annual reports to the one table, but it's too complicated, help appreciated
Here are the sources for the various revenue numbers: 2012: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2012/faq/ 2013: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2013/faq/ 2014: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2014/faq/ 2015: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2016/ 2016: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2016/

the 2015 number is in 2016 sources, the 2015 faq doesn't show it, unless you want to switch format to audited financial statements pdfs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RainyVision (talk • contribs) 23:26, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Proposed merge of the Mozilla Taiwan article into this article
NN, should be mentioned in parent article. Note that two sources are related blogs. MB 16:00, 1 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Support. Doesn't seem to show any notability independent of the parent company. DecafPotato (talk) 00:08, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Merge stub into main section. /&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/&#91;/ (talk) 15:20, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Per reasons stated above Quinnerwinner12 (talk) 08:44, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The article should be merged with this article as it contains links (URLs) to offical websites and blogs which may go down at any time (see Link rot). More could also be potentially found by looking at the edit history of the article. 110.175.215.114 (talk) 03:15, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I second this opinion. The articles should be merged. 110.175.215.114 (talk) 03:18, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
