Mozilla could have added years ago a donation or subscription to fund the development of Firefox, but they don't want that. Mozilla wants all the money for its charitable activities instead.
There will be a time when they have no money anymore, but it's only their fault.
- rs186 2y agoI doubt donation would be anywhere close to what is needed for development even if that exists.
- homebrewer 2y agoI think it's not that they don't want it as it's difficult to mix money from commercial activities with donations. That's why they keep the two cash flows separate and are only using Google money for Firefox development, and spend donations exclusively on political bullshit very few people care about. Although their $7 mil CEO could have found a way to handle this while not running afoul of the IRS, but she decided to play with a bunch of dead-end commercial endeavors instead. So that's on them.
