The Mozilla foundation makes a lot of money. It’s the Mozilla Corp who needs Google money. People would gladly donate to Firefox but they can’t. If google money dries up and no other way is possible to profit from search deals (unlikely, as only Google is being procecuted), Mozilla Corp can be absorbed into the foundation. Then just fire the stupid expensive CEO. Suddenly you have millions.

Scaremongering, Firefox will always land on its feet and if one source dries up there’s always more.

Does anybody think that Mozilla will attempt to win their community back and start being good stewards of the money they are given?

They’ve had ample time to wash themselves of Google’s money. They have been too busy justifying their salaries with useless initiatives and acquisitions, when all people care about is Firefox.

When can we directly donate to Firefox’s development?

“We need the devil to stay alive 😭😭😭”

Cry me a river. Maybe you don’t deserve to live if evil sustains you.

Maybe these fucks should find a more honest “business model” that doesn’t rely on handouts from a monopolist like, who knows, maybe try and talk to governments to be their default browser and be paid for support? Or refocus your efforts and trim the fat from the top that’s sucking millions out of the org for firing people and making bad decisions? Or let your users donate money directly to firefox development instead of going “we’ll accept your money, but it might go into anything but firefox”? Or a bunch of other things that don’t mean keeping the biggest invader of privacy alive just so that you can survive?
