(2020-01-15) Mozilla Lays Off70 As It Waits For New Products To Generate Revenue

Mozilla lays off 70 as it waits for new products to generate revenue. Mozilla Corporation (as opposed to the much smaller Mozilla Foundation) said it had about 1,000 employees worldwide.

The organization last reported major layoffs in 2017.

Over the course of the last few months, Mozilla started testing a number of new products, most of which will be subscription-based once they launch. The marquee feature here is including its Firefox Private Network and a device-level VPN service that is yet to launch but will cost around $4.99 per month.

In 2018, the latest year for which Mozilla has published its financial records, about 91 percent of its royalty revenues came from search contracts.
