The Company

A lot of companies say they're "mission-driven". Our unique corporate structure guarantees that every decision we make upholds our mission: to make sure the internet stays available, safe, and welcoming to everyone.

Along with 20,000+ volunteer contributors and collaborators all over the world, Mozilla Corporation's staff designs, builds, and distributes software that allows people to enjoy the internet on their own terms. Our flagship product - the Firefox browser - has expanded into a family of products that protects users and alerts them of risks.

One of our four commitments is to build "...an internet that includes all the people of the earth - where a person's demographic characteristics do not determine their online access, opportunities, or quality of experience."
