    Here is the thing: I send them 5$ each month since years. But turns out: None of that money goes to Firefox. Mozilla is using the money for everything but Firefox. (Warning: Reddit Link)

    So all the guys who ask “HoW MuCh DiD YoU DoNatEd”: Your argument is void.

      There’s Mozilla Corp and Mozilla Foundation. The Corp is what runs Firefox (“supported” by sponsored content (that’s complained about) and deals with search engines).

      Mozilla Corp is a subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation.

      If all ties with sponsorships are severed, Mozilla Foundation is what would keep Firefox afloat.

      The existance of these sponsorships are pseudo-equivalent to donating.

        No. I still support Mozillas Projects in general be it in software or social. I do not regret any donation.

          No. I still support Mozillas Projects

          Then 2 minutes later, in another reply in this thread:

          I never donating, I don’t know what you are talking about.

            That people should have the right to complain about those things regarding if the donated or not. Donating does not grant you the right to complain about things you find annoying on software. Especially not, if the donation is not even going to the project someone is complaining about. So people who try to gatekeep the complaining by asking if someone has donated, my comment informed them that in fact this argument is moot.

            Edit: oops, I see now how my comment was confusing as I was missing the word *stopped. Sorry

          I never said you did. But you did seem annoyed that your money doesn’t directly support the browser. Even though it still supports what mozzilla is about.
