"Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, most recently Firefox's general manager, will succeed interim Laura Chambers in CEO job, Mozilla said in a statement Tuesday. As part of the change, Chambers will return to the Mozilla corporate board alongside company President Mark Surman. Enzor-DeMeo faces a number of challenges as Mozilla's new leader, including the dominance of Google's Chrome browser and the broader disruption spurred by AI."
"Mozilla aims to stand out from rivals by making AI features optional and customizable inside browsers rather than forced on users. The effort includes services such as AI Window, an opt-in assistant in Firefox that lets people choose different models and adjust privacy settings. There's also a Shake to Summarize option available on Apple Inc.'s iOS operating system that received a special mention in Time's best inventions of 2025."

Mozilla backed by a nonprofit organization said it will measure progress against a double bottom line of market performance and societal benefit. Over the next three years, it plans to prioritize AI that aligns with its goals and reduce the company's dependence on internet search revenue as it adds more products."
