Money donated to the Mozilla Foundation doesn’t actually go towards browser development, does it?
- bzb5 6y agoThe time has come for Mozilla to offer a way of donating that guarantees that 100% of the cash goes to Firefox.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoMozilla has 20 years of evidence showing that people "who would donate but only on my terms" aren't a serious revenue source.
- luckylion 6y agoHave they? My impression was that you were never able to donate to Firefox directly. You could only buy the whole package, that is: Firefox + some stuff you don't care about and some stuff you might disagree with.
- eitland 6y agoActually it seems to be worse: - Donations goes to the foundation - Profits from the corporation (after engineers are paid for) goes to the foundation Net money never goes from the foundation to the browser it seems. (Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I'm not necessarily saying their projects are bad, only that when they go at the expense of Firefox something is seriously wrong.)
- fsflover 6y agoWas there ever net money to give to Firefox?
- pessimizer 6y agoNot a serious revenue source for anything that's not the Firefox browser, no.
- AnonHP 6y agoWell, Thunderbird got it done with its new home (and more recently, a new organization). A donation to Thunderbird goes to Thunderbird.
