When you donate to Mozilla the money doesn’t go to the betterment of the Firefox browser.

Correct. I wish a fund were created for Firefox, like the one for Thunderbird.

I'd love to give towards Firefox but have no desire to fund Mozilla mismanagement.

Your best options are:

* Use Firefox; * Consider Pocket Premium; * Subscribe to Mozilla VPN.

Does Pocket Premium go directly to Firefox?

If so I'm probably in (even if I don't use Pocket :-)

Firefox VPN isn't available for me yet.

It goes to the Mozilla corporation and will therefore mostly fund Firefox/Gecko, but also pocket, VPN etc

I was of the impression that Mozilla had shed their side projects in the face of dwindling money from Google. Is that still not the case?

I am willing to donate to Mozilla in spite of their mismanagement given that we are creeping ever closer to another browser monopoly. Ignoring bad financial decisions, Firefox is a good product and I've been using it exclusively on PC since Quantum came out. I feel that people here hold Mozilla to some impossibly high standards and turn it into outrage porn. I mean, I don't see top-ranked comments on HN about threatening to stop using Chrome because of whatever sleazy thing Google did last.
