Mozilla is working to bring advertising to its
Firefox web browser, through a new feature called ‘Directory Tiles’, which will replace some of the empty tiles which appear when opening a new tab.
Directory Tiles will display a mix of useful information for first-time users, including “sponsored content from hand-picked partners”, enabling Mozilla to diversify its business into digital media and content publishing, and boost revenues. The organisation hopes it will also compliment the other areas of its work.
