QUOTED ‘The Mozilla project is a global community of people who believe that openness,
innovation, and opportunity are key to the continued health of the Internet. We have
worked together since 1998 to ensure that the Internet is developed in a way that benefits
everyone. We are best known for creating the Mozilla Firefox web browser.’
