By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: August 3, 2005SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2 - The Mozilla Foundation, developer of the Firefox Web browser, plans to announce Wednesday that it has created a for-profit subsidiary to pursue wider potential for the software.
Since it was introduced in November of last year, Firefox has steadily gained market share in competition with Microsoft’s browser, Internet Explorer. Some industry analysts estimate that Firefox is used by as many as 10 percent of all those online. The Mozilla Foundation says more than 75 million copies have been downloaded.
