What a cash grab

Firefox devs should quit this sinking ship ASAP, fork the browser and setup some sort of developer funds like blender/krita/gimp/godot and many other

I'll be happy to donate directly to the firefox team without having to go through this mafia

That won't go to the firefox team, since the Firefox team is under the Mozilla Corporation whereas donations can only go to the Mozilla Foundation.

I don't think money is the issue with $500M coming from Google per year.

This doesn't go to the Firefox team. It supports the Mozilla Foundation, but Firefox development is funded by the Mozilla Corporation.

That money cannot go to Firefox, only to cute projects and insane (IMO) CEO wages.
