Mozilla has been a pioneer and advocate for the Web for more than a decade. They create and promote open standards that enable innovation and advance the Web as a platform for all. Today, hundreds of millions of people worldwide use Mozilla Firefox to experience the Web on computers, tablets and mobile devices.
