Mozilla Maketh Mucho Moolah

Free software is not something you associated with money rolling in, but Mozilla seems to be in this enviable position:

In 2005 the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation combined had revenue from all sources of $52.9M. $29.8M of this was associated with the Foundation (both before and after the creation of the Corporation). The bulk of this revenue was related to our search engine relationships, with the remainder coming from a combination of contributions, sales from the Mozilla store, interest income, and other sources. These figures compare with 2003 and 2004 revenues of $2.4M and $5.8M respectively, and reflect the tremendous growth in the popularity of Firefox after its launch in November 2004.

But, as I've just written elsewhere, Mozilla needs urgently to spend this money on a big task: making Firefox 3.0 really rock.
