To start with, they do not earn.. Open Source Projects generally start with interest and commitment. Later when the product begin to hold responsibility for its users, it start to rely on elites who share the same interest and donations, and later you *might* invite company to invest in this product and this point on is when your project becoming a business matter.

Opera isn't open-source, and Firefox was developed from Netscape Navigator if I remember right. But what you said is often true for many open source projects.

i dont know exactly but i think Opera's main source of earning is its variety of products (and aggrements with different Vendors of cell phone), Search Box that allow searching Google, Yahoo, MSN, EBay, Download.com, Y!Shopping and Y! Answers.

Firefox's main source of earning may be the Search or donations (if any).

During development, the Netscape browser was known by the code name Mozilla, which became the name of a Godzilla-like cartoon dragon mascot used prominently on the company's web site. The Mozilla name was also used as the User-Agent in HTTP requests by the browser. Other web browsers claimed to be compatible with Netscape's extensions to HTML, and therefore used the same name in their User-Agent identifiers so that web servers would send them the same pages as were sent to Netscape browsers. Mozilla is now a generic name for matters related to the open source successor to Netscape Communicator.

In March 1998, Netscape released most of the code base for Netscape Communicator under an open source license. The product, Netscape 5, used open-source community contributions, and was known as Mozilla, Netscape Navigator's original code name.
