Ginny Marvin says, “In early August, the Mozilla Foundation quietly began showing “Suggested tiles” when users open a new tab in its Firefox browser, the company announced last week.

Darren Herman, Mozilla VP of Content Services, wrote in a blog post that Suggested tiles began appearing in the American version of Firefox this summer from partners including Yahoo, Fortune and Quartz, as well as Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Above is an example of a suggested tile for Ars Technica content.

(Mozilla made Yahoo the default search engine on the US version of the browser last November, after ending a 10-year relationship with Google in that market.)

As Mozilla explains it, Suggested tiles aren’t a paid product at this point. “These partners are leaders in their categories, and we chose them for their ability to add value in Firefox. While we consider these to be commercial partnerships, we are not receiving money to show this content,” said Herman“.
