Google has been Mozilla’s primary financial supporter for the most part of its existence and in the past year has supplied around 84% of the browser company’s $123 million revenue through its search engine deal. That deal is said to have ended in November.
Mozilla is adamant that search partnerships will remain the core of its financial backbone. However, while Mozilla certainly does have arrangements with other parties, without Google’s support, its future becomes uncertain unless it manages to extend that deal or secure equal amount of funding or thereabouts from other sources.
