[...] Google Search in Firefox Although Firefox provides users with plenty of search options in its search box, the default is Google Search. Google in fact has a partnership with Mozilla to have the search box default to Google and in return they pay Mozilla a cut from the revenue generated by searches that originate from the Firefox search box. The estimated revenue generated by Mozilla in 2004 was around $30 million. In 2006 Jason Calacanis, the founder of Weblogs Inc claimed that Mozilla´s revenue in 2005 were around $72 million. Christopher Blizzard, a member of the Mozilla board later clarified that “it’s not correct, though not off by an order of magnitude”. Meaning that the revenues figure although not accurate are certainly more than $36 million. [...]

[...] Why is a free browser marketing itself so aggressively? Partly, no doubt, as a test of success. It just feels good to make progress and have people use your product. But it was recently pointed out that Firefox must be making a fair amount of cash from their default Google search bar (it was speculated they made more than $70 million, but a Mozilla board member refuted that exact number). In any case, I think it’s fair to say that Firefox is making Mozilla money. From a user’s perspective, I think this is fine. If it helps development of Firefox to continue, I say more power to them!

[...] Ganz unberechtigt ist die aufkeimende Kritik an der Mozilla Foundation und deren eigener Firma der Mozilla Corporation nicht. Vor Tagen kamen Gerüchte auf, wonach im letzten Jahr 72 Millionen Dollar in die Kassen der Mozilla Corp. geflossen sind. Das Geld stammt aus einem mit Google im Jahr 2004 geschlossenen Abkommen, wonach Google für jeden Zugriff bezahlt, wenn dieser aus der Suchleiste des Mozilla-Browsers stammt. In einer Stellungnahme von Chris Blizzard aus dem Vorstand der Firma wird die genannte Summe zwar bestritten, es wird aber eingestanden, dass sie nicht sehr weit von den tatsächlichen Umsätzen entfernt ist.
