What is Mozilla?

Mozilla's mission

The Internet is a an integral part of modern life

The Internet is a public resource that must remain open and accessible

Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.

Individuals must have the ability to shape the Internet and their own experiences on it.

Transparent community-based processes promote participation, accountability and trust.

For more points please see: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

It's Open …
