What is Mozilla?

We’re a global community

   of thousands who sincerely believe in the power of technology to enrich people’s lives.

We’re a public benefit organization

   dedicated not to making money but to improving the way people everywhere experience the Internet.

And we’re an open source software project

   whose code has been used as a platform for some of the Internet’s most innovative projects.

The common thread that runs throughout Mozilla is our belief that, as the most significant soci

al and technological development of our time, the Internet is a public resource that must remain open and accessible to all. With this in mind, our efforts are ultimately driven by our mission of encouraging choice, innovation and opportunity online.
   To achieve these goals, we use a highly transparent, extremely collaborative process that brings together thousands of dedicated volunteers around the world with our small staff of employees to coordinate the creation of products like the Firefox web browser. This process is supported by the Mozilla Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.
   In the end, the Mozilla community, organization and technology is all focused on a single goal: making the Internet better for everyone.
