Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Mozilla (the foundation) is still involved with Firefox, so chance that your donation won’t go toward maintaining the engine. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/what-we-do/

Yeah, employing this many employees, the donations would not cover it and you can hardly guarantee a stable job position. It might take just one scandal (whether it’s true or not) for everyone to stop donating.
The Mozilla Foundation uses donation money rather for political activism and they’ve also often distributed money to important open-source projects which are too small to collect donations.
@Ephera@redcalcium I don’t mind them using funds on activism directly related to privacy and an open web but they have been blowing huge amounts on far left political causes unrelated. That’s why I ignore donstion requests.
