Mozilla kicks off annual fundraiser on Firefox's home page

Mozilla Foundation has kicked off its annual fund-raising drive by placing the pitch on the home page of Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox browser.

The non-profit runs a drive each December -- this is the fifth straight year -- to finance its education, research and public awareness campaigns and projects. The money raised does not go toward expenses incurred to develop and maintain the Firefox browser or Firefox OS.

Mozilla Foundation is the umbrella organization that oversees Mozilla Corp., the for-profit company that actually produces Firefox, Firefox OS and other software and services.
