Firefox doesn’t even accept donations. Mozilla Foundation does, which is a related nonprofit, but it crucially does not fund any firefox development and legally cannot do so.

What, related nonprofit that can not legally fund Firefox development? What are you talking about? It’s literally developed by them.

Mozilla Firefox, or simply Firefox, is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.

  Yeah, you should look up what Mozilla Corporation is and who employs those Firefox developers.
  
  Mozilla Foundation owns the trademarks and runs the infrastructure. Firefox developers are employed by for-profit Mozilla Corporation.

  Yep… And you can’t donate to Firefox development. You’ll only fund the nonprofit and its goals, the money doesn’t go to Mozilla Corporation who do the actual development.
