As an individual, looking to spend a handful of bucks from Europe all I can do is buy Mozilla VPN or donate to the foundation. For larger sums they might send me a sales rep and figure something out, but not for the sums I'd consider.
And finding relevant individuals isn't easy either.
So for now I am happy Firefox is being worked on continuously for so many years for free. It's my default browser from back when the predecessor was Netscape Navigator 3 Gold via opensourcing and renaming.

Alternatively, there's almost certainly some way to get Igalia (or someone in it) to accept your money and make sure they know exactly what it's for. > And finding relevant individuals isn't easy either. Since they're right out in the open, records of who contributed what is pretty easy to parse for a developer looking at a bugtracker or a commit log. GitHub Sponsors seems straightforward enough (or conspicuous enough, at least; I don't even really use GitHub and I'm well aware of its existence).
