Yandex Search is the default for Firefox in Russia and Baidu continues its role as the default in China. In November 2014, Mozilla signed a five-year partnership with Yahoo, making Yahoo! Search the default search engine for Firefox in the US. From 2004 to 2014, the majority of revenue came from a deal with Google, which was the default search engine in the Firefox web browser. Unlike the Mozilla Foundation, the Mozilla Corporation is a tax-paying entity, which gives it much greater freedom in the revenue and business activities it can pursue. It also handles relationships with businesses, many of which generate income. On August 3, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced the creation of Mozilla Corporation, described as "a taxable subsidiary that serves the non-profit, public benefit goals of its parent, the Mozilla Foundation, and that will be responsible for product development, marketing and distribution of Mozilla products". The Mozilla Foundation is guided by the Mozilla Manifesto, which lists 10 principles which Mozilla believes "are critical for the Internet to continue to benefit the public good as well as commercial aspects of life". The Mozilla Foundation describes itself as "a non-profit organization that promotes openness, innovation and participation on the Internet". The organization is currently based in the Silicon Valley city of Mountain View, California, United States. The Mozilla Foundation was founded by the Netscape-affiliated Mozilla Organization. It owns a taxable subsidiary: the Mozilla Corporation, which employs many Mozilla developers and coordinates releases of the Mozilla Firefox web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. Founded in July 2003, the organization sets the policies that govern development, operates key infrastructure and controls Mozilla trademarks and copyrights.
The Mozilla Foundation (stylized as moz://a) is an American non-profit organization that exists to support and collectively lead the open source Mozilla project.
