I'm baffled that despite years of asking, Mozilla doesn't have voluntary subscription option for the FireFox browser. I'm not interested in paying for VPN or any other related product but I definitely would be interested in directly supporting FireFox browser development. As a Web developer, paying for my tools is not an issue for me, conversely, I'd be happy to do it.

As far as I know, transferring money from the Foundation to MozCorp is hard. If you want to throw money at Firefox development, one of the Corp's paid products is the way.
