Firefox Made $56 Million in 2006 from Google

Mitchell Baker, the chief executive of Mozilla Corporation, has blogged that Mozilla's 2006 revenues were $66 million, mostly (85%) from Google:

Mozilla's revenues (including both Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation) for 2006 were $66,840,850, up approximately 26% from 2005 revenue of $52,906,602. As in 2005 the vast majority of this revenue is associated with the search functionality in Mozilla Firefox, and the majority of that is from Google.

Will Google buy Mozilla? DigitalPoint Forums members think that Google's big eyes might set upon Mozilla, but others don't think so. The partnership is beneficial for both parties.
