I'm specifically talking about extensions that strive to be free and accessible for everyone. A great example for how Mozilla is deprioritizing contributions for extension developers is the new design of Firefox Add-ons. The contribution button was pushed down below the fold. Previously it was at a very prominent place next to the install button, and several modes for requesting contributions before or after installation have been deprecated. Yes, adding a donation button to your extension is a possibility, but it would send a whole different signal if Mozilla would encourage users to support developers, from a unified and trusted user interface, and experiment with better ways to ensure that users are aware of support options for their favourite extensions. Mozilla directly supporting extensions which they consider to be of great value could also be explored.
