Mozilla is…

a global community of people who believe that openness, innovation, and opportunity are key to the continued health of the Internet.

Mozilla Manifesto

  • The Internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.
  • The Internet should enrich the lives of individual human beings.
  • Individuals' security on the Internet is fundamental and cannot be treated as optional.
  • Individuals must have the ability to shape their own experiences on the Internet.
