I had the same question. And what's even stranger is that the Mozilla.com (not.org) website has no way to send them money, and doesn't even mention the paid products like the VPN. At least Pocket gets a mention which I think you can pay for.

Those who seek shall find. https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/ Got the link from the Thunderbird-site where https://give.thunderbird.net/en-US/ redirects to https://give.thunderbird.net/en-US

So yeah the link is out there but you really have to look for it. Which is actually s.th. quite nice. Imagine they would go about nagging people. You might say one of 2 things: a) So in their face, others are probably donating what do they need me for b) So in my face, that is indescent, I do not donate. Whatever the choice happy donating; I already did.;)

That's .org and the donation does not fund Firefox development or any other activity of the Mozilla Corporation.

When you go to https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/ and you click on "Donate" you are directed to https://donate.mozilla.org/en-US/ .

The sidebar on the donation-page clearly states:

"We are proudly non-profit, non-corporate and non-compromised. Thousands of people like ...."

So I think donations are in good hands there.

That's the Mozilla Foundation. Firefox is developed by the Mozilla Corporation, which is a for-profit entity wholly owned by the Foundation and with separate funding. In fact millions of dollars are transferred from the Corporation to the Foundation in royalties every year. Donating to the Foundation does not fund Firefox development!

If you want to support just Firefox, and not the other Mozilla initiatives, there's no way to do that. People reasonably do not agree with the other things Mozilla spends their money on.

Donations went to paying Mitchell Baker millions of dollars per year, and all the other execs.
