Doing for AI what we did for the web
  • all of the planned new Firefox features for 2026 are “AI”-based (except for a new paid support tier)
  • they’re taking our money and establishing an “AI”-focused investment arm
  • all of the art appears to be slop

Remember when Mozilla was not awful?

    State of Mozilla 2025

    Where we’re going, together

    We know the stakes. At a moment when a handful of companies are racing to define the future of AI, we’re choosing a future that will push the web in a better direction. And a future that lets you choose when, how and even if you use these new technologies.

    Across our portfolio, our 2026 roadmap is all about delivering on this promise:

    • Investing in public interest AI and charitable activities — expand the Mozilla Data Collective, launching new incubator cohorts focused on democracy and public interest AI, and convening global communities through programs like Creative Futures Residency and the Democracy x AI Incubator Cohort.
    • Enhancing our core products — push Firefox on performance, privacy, and interoperability, and create a Firefox offering for enterprises. Roll out Thunderbird Pro and Thundermail.
    • Building trusted AI experiences — build opt-in features into Firefox like AI Window, pushing the envelope on AI that is both useful and user respecting. Also, launch “AI controls” into Firefox, giving people a clear way to turn AI off entirely - current and future AI features. .
    • Growing the open source AI ecosystem — grow Mozilla ai’s suite of choice first open source libraries, and launch a hosted AI agent platform optimized for building on open source AI. Also, search out new partners and projects to work with in making the open source AI stack easier to use.

    Together, this work reflects a single vision for the future — an ambition to do for AI what we did for the web. It also reflects an acknowledgement that we can only succeed if we do this as a community As in the web era, we will need a rebel alliance of sorts if we want to push AI in a better direction.

    In 2026, we will grow Mozilla’s investment in community and partnerships. This includes Mozilla Ventures investments, Mozilla Foundation events like MozFest and collaboration on open source AI projects. Whether you’re a developer, founder, investor, policymaker, teacher, philanthropist or simply someone who cares about where the internet goes next, we want to work with you.

    Let’s choose a better future. And then build it, together.
