Good for them.

Currently they spend millions of dollars (that mostly come from people wanting to support their browser) on huge salaries and projects that have nothing to do with their browser. At the same time they keep on taking steps to alienate those that are donating or using their products.

The bar for success is pretty low - stop wasting all them bucks, and stop alienating your users.

If you could do that, there is plenty of next steps.

Good luck

No, their millions of dollars dont come mostly from people wanting to support their browser.

It comes from search ads on google.com

I agree that most of their money comes from Google (at least for now).

But when you load their home page (https://www.mozillafoundation.org), the first thing you are greeted with is a banner that says they have raised over $6M in their last campaign alone.

So, it seems that millions are being donated by users.

The claim that most of those users want it to go to their browser is not supported or refuted by that page, but I have read a detailed breakdown of all their donations and attempts to guess what people really think they are donating for, and it matched my original statement - though I haven't got the time to search now, what do _you_ think people are donating for?

		It's literally impossible to donate to Mozilla for Firefox.
