Is there actually any way to pay for Firefox directly? I don't need their VPN service, but would probably be willing to pay something for Firefox.

  Sure (kind of)! Make a donation to the Mozilla foundation. https://donate.mozilla.org/ https://donate.mozilla.org/ It's not directly paying for the product, but it also does show as "this user wants our vpn" in the stats.

    I reckon because it's not possible to pay for the product directly, Firefox is getting less financial support than it could. For example, I may not want to support many of the goals of the Mozilla foundation, but paying for a product that I'm using (Firefox) sounds reasonable.

    As always, a note needs to be attached to this link. Money donated to the Mozilla foundation goes exclusively to their advocacy work, and none goes to the Mozilla corporation, which develops Firefox.

  There's also Relay. I believe you can buy it alone or bundled with their VPN. https://relay.firefox.com/ https://relay.firefox.com/

    Have been using Relay for months, I think it's a pretty good product. Shame that it's gotten onto virtually all abuse lists now, it's impossible to use my emails anywhere, even if I have a custom subdomain.

  It's not quite the same, but I pay for MDN Plus[1] even though I don't actually need any of the features [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/plus https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/plus

  I'd donate to the EFF instead. I love FF and use it exclusively, but organizations like the EFF are why software like FF can exist
