- mwcampbell 6y agoThey could though. If enough of us start donating, maybe the leadership will make the necessary organizational changes to make donations go toward Firefox development. It definitely won't happen if we don't do our part.
- hu3 6y agoWhy are we to blame? We can't just start donating massive amounts of money and hope that management funnels it to Firefox. The same management that receives almost half a billion dollars per year from Google is the management that just fired Servo, MDN and Dev Tools staff.
- mwcampbell 6y agoThe question for me is not who's to blame, but what I can do, since I can only control my own actions.
- hu3 6y agoI don't think lack of funding is the problem but rather a lack of management. More money is just going to incentivize their current malpractices. I think what we could do is support a Firefox Foundation if/when it eventually exists.
