Firefox gets most of its income from search partnership deals,
primarily from Google.
Google provides the largest share, often exceeding 80% of Mozilla's
total revenue—such as $510 million out of $593 million in 2021-2022—by
serving as the default search engine in Firefox across most regions.
These deals compensate Mozilla for routing user queries through the
partner's engine, generating ad revenue for the partner.
Mozilla earns additional royalties from partners like Amazon, Yandex,
and formerly Yahoo, along with distribution deals for its open-source
software. Smaller contributions come from donations to the Mozilla
Foundation, sales in the Firefox store (apps, extensions,
merchandise), and services like VPN and Pocket subscriptions. Profits
are largely reinvested into Firefox development and Mozilla's mission
for a healthier internet.
