Mozilla Foundation has laid off 30% of its employees. This is reported by TechCrunch.

According to annual tax returns, the Mozilla Foundation had 60 employees in 2022. According to an anonymous source, the number of employees at the time of the layoffs was almost twice as high. The advocacy and global issues research departments were among the laid-offs.

Mozilla consists of several organizations. Mozilla Corporation develops Firefox and other technologies, while the other is the Foundation, a non-profit and tax-exempt entity that oversees Mozilla’s corporate governance structure and sets the policies of the browser maker.

“The Mozilla Foundation is reorganizing teams to increase agility and impact as we accelerate our work to ensure a more open and equitable technical future for us all. That unfortunately means ending some of the work we have historically pursued and eliminating associated roles to bring more focus going forward,” said a Mozilla representative.

The head of communications at the Mozilla Foundation adds that “advocacy is still a central tenet of Mozilla Foundation’s work and will be embedded in all the other functional areas.”
