Reading this post I wanted to buy a tee-shirt or two because I like Firefox and wanted to help them a bit (and help them alleviate their dependancy on Google's $$) but I was unable to find a page with Mozilla products... It's a shame because I think people would love to contribute by buying a goodie or something. I know I still can donate money but maybe I'm a bit selfish but I find it not to be as fun as getting something in return.

If you donate 30$ or more you can get a t-shirt: https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/join-mozilla?source=base_url https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/join-mozilla?sour.... However a proper Firefox store has sadly been missing for some time now.

  Ah great, I don't know why but when I follow the donate link from the main Mozilla page it goes to this url https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/EOYFR2013-tabzilla?source=mozillaorg_footer&amount=20 https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/EOYFR2013-tabzill... and there's no tee-shirts on this one. Anyway thanks for the link that's what I was looking for.

It's not quite the same, but I nabbed about twenty Rust stickers from this year's Mozilla Summit in Toronto. I might be willing to part with some for people who've made donations, if anyone's interested. :)

Hi All, We are working to set up a gear store. Hopefully, we'll be able to announce it early in the new year. In the meantime, if you know someone who is an e-commerce / systems integration expert, please point them at this opening: http://careers.mozilla.org/en-US/position/oOP3Xfwn http://careers.mozilla.org/en-US/position/oOP3Xfwn Thanks, G.

  Now, that is what I call an inspiring connectivity with the public.

I wanted to give 3$ to Firefox but their form for submitting credit cards is weird and it needs my address for some reason?! Anyway the address was wrong and I can't be really bothered to try all the addresses I used in previous 4 years. If GoG doesn't need my address why would Mozilla? And further more why should it complain about wrong address.

  Umm, that's standard anti-fraud for e-commerce sites. I'm pretty confused actually at your surprise, I've never paid for anything by credit card without requiring at least a zip code, and usually a full address.

  GoG doesn't, and a couple of other high-profile sites don't (Amazon for example), but the vast, vast majority of card payment forms on the Internet require a full address as for fraud prevention. Do you not often buy things on the Internet?
  - Ygg2 13y ago
    I do buy things often using GoG, or Amazon, or Kickstarter or PayPal. I've never had to enter my address before. Hell, smaller companies asked for address but never checked it against my CC info (which is outdated anyway). I never had to enter the correct address for one of them. I want to donate, but this form just bounces me I've so far tried at least 10 different combinations. I have no idea what bank entered as its information.

      PayPal definitely asks for a full address when you sign up or pay by card directly. And I don't know about Kickstarter, but I just checked Indiegogo which I regularly use, and they require a full address for billing. My understanding of the system is that usually the address can be wrong so long as your card/connection/purchase/etc doesn't look suspicious, but different payment processors have different fraud profiles, so some might pay more attention to the address than others.

I remember getting a Firefox polo a while back (9 years ago?). Must've been the reward for a donation. Still makes an impact - people keep asking what I did to get it.

I had a really cool "Firefox 1.0" poster I purchased years ago (IIRC, my name was included on it because of my donation/purchase) but, sadly, I've moved since then and I've no idea what happened to it. I had completely forgotten about it until I saw it in an old picture a few days ago. edit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eggplant/40525989/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/eggplant/40525989/
