Could someone clarify whether donations to Mozilla are earmarked for Firefox specifically? Or is it for unrelated initiatives, and Firefox is only funded through Google?

I assume the donation money can't legally reach Mitchell Baker, since it goes through the Mozilla non-profit, but the whole Mozilla Corp vs Mozilla non-profit structure and the handling of funds is still very confusing to me.

Firefox is developed by the Corp, and you can only donate to the Foundation - so no, donations don't go to Firefox directly.

Also I do believe Baker is president of both, though the big paycheck comes from the Corp IIRC.
