Free and open source tools need money too!

... and most of us know that very well. But currently we only get a limited way of showing our love, based on the terrible way Mozilla organizes user donations/contributions.

  1. Add an a way we can define for what a donation should be used
    (Firefox:*, Firefox:Desktop, Firefox:Mobile, Thunderbird, Mozilla Connect, ..., Charity, ...) ... Hey, not all Mozilla does gives me a good vibe. I want to support the developer actually producing something. Not the ones thinking about f* users over, by selling our data, providing to 'WeAllKnowWhatSearchEngine'  a scapegoat to escape monopoly charges, ...
  2. Provide a way to donate via Bank transfere
    ... why should we pay unnecessary transfere fees to third parties, when we could use something way more simple and with an open standard.
  3. Use your products to advertise product specific donation options
    ... make it simple, make it fast, dont overdo it! Ones a month is ok. Maybe suggest something like 1$/month/project ... add a link to a page explaining the expenses on a product/project basis.
  4. Dont get greedy and suggest a high amout (20$/€/...).
    Suggest an amount most of us can spare, this will acquire more supporters, ditch these shady deals with google, pocket, ... Democratize Mozilla again, and people will come!

Following up with my question on twitter.  https://x.com/TexZeTech/status/1814008798631309650

I want to donate and support the development of Firefox directly not other Mozilla projects.

There is no reason for this to not exist unless you really don't want support from your users.

Participation volontaire de 10€ pour soutenir Firefox
 
En regard du procès pour position dominante en cours, et afin d'anticiper des couts qui pourraient handicaper la fondation Mozilla, il faudrait proposer sur la page vierge du navigateur la possibilité de verser 10€ simplement et expliquer au client que c'est une façon d'exprimer son choix de choisir Firefox plutot qu'un autre produit...
 

In view of the ongoing trial for dominant position, and in order to anticipate costs that could handicap the Mozilla Foundation, it would be necessary to offer on the blank page of the browser the possibility of simply paying €10 and explain to the customer that this is a way of expressing their choice to choose Firefox rather than another product...
