Mozilla 2026 - 2028 Strategy Wiki

This wiki provides resources related to the Mozilla Portfolio Strategy (2026–2028): , which guides all organizations in the Mozilla portfolio. This page is the home base for anyone at Mozilla — or in our community — who wants to understand our 2026–2028 strategy and how to plug in.

Summary

Mozilla’s current aspiration is to ‘do for AI what we did for the web’. We will do this by helping to build a tech ecosystem where power is decentralized and AI is built with human agency at its core. And we will measure Mozilla’s progress against two metrics: (a) are we building AI that puts humanity first? (b) are we able to radically diversify our sources of revenue? This is our double bottom line.

Mozilla portfolio

In order to ‘do for AI what we’ve done for the web’, Mozilla is building out a portfolio of mission driven nonprofits and companies to prove it is possible to build and use AI in ways that advance the values in our Manifesto.

The Mozilla portfolio is owned and managed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, which has two distinct teams and functions:

• Mozilla.org Team: drives overall strategy and direction of Mozilla’s portfolio
• Core Mozilla Foundation Team: drives philanthropic programs and advocacy

Individual companies and funds in the core portfolio include:

• Mozilla Corporation — Firefox and associated products
• MZLA — Thunderbird and associated products
• Mozilla.ai — open source AI for developers
• Mozilla Ventures — funding other mission-driven tech companies

These are all independent organizations under the banner of the Mozilla Foundation — united by a commitment to the Mozilla Manifesto and the goals outlined the Mozilla Portfolio Strategy. Each has its own board of directors.

Mozilla’s extended portfolio also includes dozens of 50 responsible tech companies in the Mozilla Ventures portfolio. Wherever possible, we try to support and work with these companies.

Why this portfolio approach?

The idea is to create an AI era version of Mozilla inspired by our original vision: not to be the primary coders of a different future, but rather to ‘... function as a switchboard, facilitating the cooperation of the thousands of participants out on the net. And (to) assemble the fruit of that labor in one place.” We believe this is the best and most likely path to building the kind of momentum needed to push AI in a different direction.

Aligned Mozilla and Community Project Tracker

The following is an incomplete and evolving list of Mozilla and community initiatives that align with the three themes in the Mozilla Portfolio Strategy. (Our Open Source AI Strategy is here.)

FYI, Mozilla had a similar list when it first started. The things on this list eventually evolved into Firefox, Thunderbird and key technical components of the Web 2.0 era.

Open source AI

Focus: grow a decentralized open source AI ecosystem that matches the capabilities of Big AI — and that enables people everywhere to build with AI on their own terms.
