MOZILLA said it coughed up $2,500 to German bloke Michael Krax after he found five bugs in its Firefox browser.
The payment comprises five 'bug bounties' that the Foundation offers to users who report bugs in its software so that they can be fixed.

The Bug Bounty programme was born in 2004 with funding from Linspire and Mark Shuttleworth. But since then the Foundation has only awarded bug bounties to five participants.
