The first step is to let them. There is currently no way for a user to support Firefox development.

    Wrong Mozilla. Mozilla Corporation is developing Firefox (and giving its profits to the parent entity, Mozilla Foundation), the foundation isn't paying for Firefox development.

      Yeah, AFAIK the donations all go to other causes. I could not find anything in writing regarding this on their site but this was explained to me on their IRC channel.

    It has been confirmed many times that exactly zero of funds donated to the Mozilla Foundation go to Firefox, which is developed by the Mozilla Corporation.

      Oh ok, didnt know that.

  There is no chance that people could donate any amount comparable to what Google gives.

    There are currently 220 million Firefox users[1]. If 10% of those paid $2 per month, it would be more than $500 million per year. Their Google deal is worth about $400 million in good years. I imagine it would be fewer than 10%, but even the low single digits would be enough to run a slimmed-down company focused on Firefox alone.

      Right, so, no chance. Getting 10% to pay $2/mo for a free product with free alternatives is not going to happen, as it hasn't happened yet.
