Mozilla in response to Google renewal: being active consultations

April 12th, 2012 No comments

For Mozilla and Google are to renew the agreement, a statement from Mozilla today, saying “is an active consultation”. According to Mozilla and search service provider agreement reached, as long as Firefox users click on search results pages of ads, search for service providers will have to pay a fee to Mozilla. For many years, Google is the default search engine for Firefox browser, Mozilla revenues in cooperation with Google’s share in the total revenues are very large.

Mozilla has revealed in 2008 revenue in a cooperative partnership with the search service-related data, 88% per cent of its revenues for the year in cooperation with Google. Mozilla working with many search, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Amazon and eBay. Mozilla overall is a non-profit company, through a copyright agreement with some search profit, mainly is to install the Google toolbar in Firefox browser.

In the first statement, Mozilla wrote: “our partnership with the different number of search service providers in the market, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Amazon, eBay etc. We firmly believe that searching for partnerships in the future will be for some time Mozilla’s main source of revenue. ”

This statement has been used more than once. A few years ago, when you were asked about the relationship between Mozilla and Google, Mozilla has made exactly the same statement. Last used in Mozilla earnings conference call in October this year. 2010 results, Mozilla does not disclose revenue data associated with the various search partners. However, Mozilla said in a report, search services revenue of approximately US $ 121.1 million, accounting for 98% of the company’s total revenue for the year. In 2010, the Mozilla revenues of us $ 123 million, estimated contribution to the Google 84%. In 2008, Google and Mozilla have to extend the said cooperation agreement in November 2011.

Since September 2008, Google launched its own browser, Chrome, relying too much on issues relating to Mozilla on Google has been mentioned a number of times. According to Internet data and statistics institutions Net Market Share statistics, in the past two years, Firefox’s market share has dropped from 25% to 22%, while the Chrome rose from less than 5% to over cent. StatCounter and Net Applications provides the most recent data show that as of November this year, Firefox Web browser market share in the world market share statistics are 25.2% and 22.1%,Chrome respectively and 25.7%, respectively.

Net Applications are expected, in April 2012 or May go beyond Firefox Chrome. According to data from StatCounter, Chrome browser has surpassed Firefox, after the world’s second-largest browser Microsoft IE.

People in the industry believe that, in order to further promote their Chrome browser, Google is unlikely to continue to work with Mozilla. In this case, Microsoft’s Bing (Bing) is possible to avail oneself of the opportunity to get in. Microsoft not only strive to maintain the market share of IE, as well as to curb Google in search. So Microsoft could hope to make Bing (Bing) become the default search engine for Firefox browser. For Microsoft, this cost is not high, but on larger Microsoft Search Help.

Industry estimates, even if Microsoft could help Mozilla a year or two, but the trends from the past two years, hero of the battle of the browser will soon become Microsoft and Google.

As of Sunday, newly installed Firefox still using Google as the default search engine. However, in order to reduce reliance on Google, Mozilla has taken a number of measures, including the launch of a custom “Bing’s version of Firefox”, the browser Microsoft bing as the default search engine, and its dual-use address bar default search tool for the Awesome Bar.

The statement reads in full as follows:

We search partnership with Google for both sides to remain positive. We are carrying out active consultations, there was no further information may be published. We very much believe that the search for cooperation will remain stable, and power in the foreseeable future as revenues.
