Mozilla Firefox: A Different Kind of Browser

3

We're quite content to be the odd browser out.

We don't have a fancy stock abbreviation to go alongside our name in the press.

We don't have a profit margin.

We don't have sacred rock stars that we put above others.

We don't make the same deals, sign the same contracts

or shake the same hands as everyone else.

And all of this, is fine by us.

We are a pack of independently spirited,

fiercely unconventional people, who do things a little differently.

Where another company may value the bottom line.

We value... well, values.

When a competitor considers making something proprietary -

we strive to set it free.

And while most products and technologies are developed behind closed doors,

ours are cultivated out in the open

for everyone to see.

We're not beholden to stake, share or power holders.

We answer to no one but you.

And we don't operate this way for the fun of it,

even though it is incredibly fun.

We operate this way

because we believe it's the right thing to do.

We believe in principle over profit.

We believe that secrecy is trumped

by honesty.

And corporate interest

by community.

We believe that the web is more cared for than owned.

More of a resource to be tended to

than a mere commodity to be sold.

And we strongly believe in innovation that puts users front and center, and squarely in the driver’s seat.

But most importantly, we believe in you.

We believe that the world’s best browser is made possible by engineers, programmers, designers

and people just like you,

who give their time, talents, energy and support to the cause.

And we believe that together,

with this cause in mind,

we can continue to innovate for the benefit of the individual and the betterment of the web.

So that it always and forever

serves the greater good.

We are all Mozilla Firefox.

And we're not just a different kind of browser.

We're a browser that's making a difference.
