Some Mozilla contributors are Netscape employees whose job is to work on Mozilla. Others are employees of Red Hat. Some are IBM employees (IBM did a lot of work on bidirectional text, for instance). And a few are hobbyists who code a bit on the side for fun (and who could be sysadmins, or college students, or Maytag repairmen, or whatever).
