Our work spans diverse areas including AI, social media, and security, all while staying true to our core mission of making the internet better for everyone.

Mozilla Corporation is fully owned by the non-profit 501(c) Mozilla Foundation. This structure ensures we are not driven by shareholder demands but by our mission.
