Thanks for implying I'm in it for the money without even knowing me. Nice ad hominem you got there.

Let's just say that the donations do not nearly cover the time I spend developing add-ons, helping other add-on developers out with their questions, volunteering on AMO, writing patches for core Firefox and so on.

I'm sorry if I offended you. All I'm saying is you could be in a position of conflict of interest. Unfortunately, your user base would never mobilize on your behalf, because they don't understand the technical details behind the comprehensive Firefox extension system that would be deprecated.

That's a problem. The user don't understand what they are about to loose, but the big name developers with millions of users have a vested interest in the status quo. I don't have a solution for that. There are a lot of Add-On developers out there for which this is a business. Firefox extensions can generate an income.

At least you make no secret about it. The euro coins are right next to the article. I mean that in a good way.
