Mozilla Receives a New CEO
Yes, I bet you’ve already heard that.
Here’s a great quote from Mitchell’s blog post:
Once I allowed myself to think about this I realized that John will be a better CEO for the MoCo going forward than I would be. I’m sure that I was the right person for this role during the first years of MoCo; I’m equally sure that John is the best person for this role in the future.
As a result I’ve asked John to take on the role of CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, and John has agreed.

Camino Now Accepting Donations
Camino web browser development team recently announced that from now they will be accepting donations. And here’s the most interesting part of it:
Through the end of the year the Mozilla Foundation will match 2 to 1 every dollar donated (up to $10,000). Donating now makes your dollar go three times as far as it normally would.
What is Camino?
Camino is an open-source web browser developed by an all-volunteer team. While most web browsers are funded through search revenues, Camino is supported by volunteer efforts, gifts of kindness from contributors, and donations from users.

Mozilla Corp – Non Profit Organization?
Some time ago I’ve posted about Mozilla’s Finances for the year 2007. It seems that “The New York Times” got something to say about Mozilla Corporation and Google as well.

Mozilla Finances, Year 2006
Year 2006 was great to Mozilla, not so long time ago they have released their financial statements for 2006 and results says everything.
They have reported a total of $66.8 million revenue for the year 2006 which is more than 25% increase from the year 2005. Most of its revenue is from Google Search of course.
As we can see from this picture, Mozilla’s earnings depends on Google a lot. What if there would be no Google search partnership program?

Mozilla Store Re-Opens Next Week
Just some news about Mozilla store. It will be re-opened next week with brand new design, new items and other great stuff. Let’s wait and see what happens.
No More Than 10 Days To Release Critical Patch
“Ten Fuc*ing Days”. That’s what Mozilla said.
That’s right, they’ve said that they can release any critical patch within 10 days or faster. Firefox 2.0.0.6 was released even faster than 10 days (after security flaws were discovered). So they are not just using some tricks (or do they?), it’s already proven, we will see how fast they will release next one.
In my point of view, before using such statements they should also fix other security vulnerabilities. Even if they are not the most critical ones.
Unpatched 43% (6 of 14 Secunia advisories)
