For the first half of 2022, with the war in Ukraine and the overall economic headwind, Mozilla’s financials looked somewhat similar, she noted. In talking about the state of the business, Baker noted that given the pandemic, 2021 was obviously not a normal year.

To talk about the state of the business and to look ahead to what’s next for Mozilla, I sat down with its executive chairwoman and CEO Mitchell Baker, Mozilla chief product officer Steve Teixeira (who recently joined Mozilla after leaving Twitter) and Mozilla Foundation executive director Mark Surman. Its Firefox browser has gone from dominating the space to being something of a niche product, but the organization’s mission (“to ensure the internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all”) is just as important today - and maybe more so - as it was almost 25 years ago when Mozilla was founded.
Since then, the way we experience the internet has changed dramatically, and while the browser is still one of the most important tools around, it’s not the only one. When Mozilla was founded, the internet was essentially the web, and the browser was the way to access it. With the launch of this year’s report, the Mozilla leadership team is also taking some time to look ahead, because in many ways, this is an inflection point for Mozilla. For the most part, that’s driven by ads on the New Tab in Firefox and in Pocket, but the security products now also have an annual revenue of $4 million. And while Mozilla continues to mostly rely on its search partnerships, revenue from its new products like the Mozilla VPN, Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) Plus, Pocket and others now accounts for $57 million of its revenue, up 125% compared to the previous year.
Mozilla Corporation, the for-profit side of the overall Mozilla organization, generated $585 million from its search partnerships, subscriptions and ad revenue in 2021 - up 25% from the year before. Mozilla today released its annual “ State of Mozilla” report and for the most part, the news here is positive.
