It can be done; an example is Igalia: https://www.igalia.com/jobs/

If there's enough money to go to the developers actively working on a product to make it sustainable, I think a lot of people would get on board with that and would pay for FF.

That's a big if. AFAIK most open source project developers don't get remotely enough donations to support them working on it full-time. The ones that do are the exception, not the norm.

I've been in organisations with great developers but no leadership. It's a shit show.
