Of Wikipedia can survive on donation, why not Firefox and MDN?

Firefox might survive, but the salaries of the people in charge of that decision might not.

Boom. "Mozilla Firefox Usage Down 85% but why are Exec’s Salary Up 400%?"

Firefox could, I think. I don't think the Mozilla Foundation could. And that's the rub, at least to those in charge at the Mozilla Foundation.

To avoid significant layoffs they'd something like 10% of their user base to donate $20/year. I'm far from an expert on nonprofit finances, but that strikes me as a tough but potentially doable goal

Their cost base is too bloated.

The reason I stopped donating to Mozilla is because they have too many people not doing things I think are important and are paying their executives too much.

There is no single piece of software I use more than Firefox. At $20.00/month it would be a bargain. Assuming it wasn’t a dumpster fire.
