Mozilla yesterday reported that revenue for 2015 was up 28% over the year before, the largest increase in three years.
Nearly all the $421 million booked by the Mozilla Foundation came from royalty payments, the bulk of which originated, as always, from search deals that set defaults in the Firefox browser.
Mozilla Foundation is the nonprofit organization that oversees Mozilla Corp., the commercial arm which builds and maintains Firefox for personal computers and smartphones.
Mozilla’s revenue from all search contracts climbed to $410 million in 2015, a year-over-year increase of 41%. The bulk of the revenue jump came from the deal Mozilla struck with Yahoo, which pays the browser maker $375 million annually. (Data: Mozilla)
