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.

Security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer have been blamed in part for an explosion of viruses and spyware, prompting some computer users to abandon it.

Foundation executives say they want to help Firefox gain greater use. That will require offering service and support at a fee, which are beyond the scope of the original nonprofit organization, they say.
