Mozilla女强人的反思：火狐和资金

上周三，为了维持运营，Mozilla内容部门决定对火狐植入广告。但此举很快迎来Mozilla前CEO，现任Mozilla基金会女主席Mitchell Baker的抗议，她认为火狐产品不能靠内置广告来维持生计。

Mitchell Baker在上周四的博客中写道：“关于目前我们是否明确关注创造收入以及维持Mozilla的日常工作的问题，答案是肯定的。对于每个Mozilla人都有责任去承担”。

Mozilla上周三宣布了Directory Tiles（目录磁贴）项目后，作为现任Mozilla基金会主席的Baker就引起外界的关注和质疑。

Mitchell Baker在博客中表示，目前Firefox（火狐）的用户群体为大众型，其中不少用户非常愿意参与Mozilla，例如成为员工或者分享代码，因此会对Mozilla新项目充满质疑和抵触。我们谈论的Mozilla财政收入一直令人困惑。不仅是Mozilla人，还是我们的赞助商，都在疑惑这个财政收入。但是有一点可以肯定，Mozilla会继续提升用户体验，向我们的用户传递开源的价值观。

她也坚持认为，对于Mozilla基金会以及旗下的Firefox和其他项目来说，资金是首要问题。但可以不破坏Mozilla组织立场及对用户树立的声誉的前提下，去筹资。

例如，我们讨论如何才能为用户提供有用的内容，是否会带来收入，同样是否会令用户反感还是让人接受。目前来说，搜索引擎提供广告证实有效，也受用户欢迎和理解。

Mozilla基金会是众多小型组织机构的一员，但创造了一款主流浏览器：Firefox，后者占据全球浏览器市场中18%的份额。

目前世界五大主流浏览器厂商分别为苹果、谷歌、微软、Mozilla、Opera。其中Opera全球份额最小，2012年营业收入为2.16亿美元，还是领先Mozilla基金会。

因此，对于Mozilla组织来说，资金仍然是首要问题。
