But I don’t want to donate to the “open internet” or the non-profit, I want to donate directly to Firefox. How can I ensure that the money I spend gets spent on that and only that?

But that’s not donating to Firefox, that’s donating to Mozilla, which I don’t want to do, because they seem to be wasting their money.

Yeah, donations. And yes, more cost-cutting measures. They need both, to gain more revenue, and to cut costs. They seem pretty bloated to me.

Sure, but can I spend money on just Firefox? or does it go to unrelated activities? I’m OK spending money on FF, I’m not OK paying for the CEO.

“They already take in donations…”

Where can I dontate to Firefox? Not Mozilla, and not a fund that goes to CEO-pay or other expences, but straight to Firefox

2 options:

1. Ask their users for money. It’s a tried and true system that works for a lot of projects.
2. Stop spending their existing money on dumb things that nobody is asking for. A good start would be to cut out the CEO’s pay.

Does Firefox do reproducible builds? This bug report makes me think it doesn’t (at least for Linux): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=885777

But maybe they do for Windows/Apple/Android?

A source for what?

That doesn’t detract from OP’s point. I want Mozilla to be a good, privacy respecting organization, but they aren’t anymore, and chromium has nothing to do with that.

Have they considered just asking for money? Also getting rid of the giant holes that they keep pouring their money into?

A lot of people love Firefox, and would happily donate. They could also trim a lot of fat at Mozilla quite easily.

You can, but the last time I did that the instructions were incomplete, and you still had to auth through Mozilla. That was a few years ago, so things might have changed since then.

I find it very telling when someone gets mad at the people who couldn’t stomach voting for a genocide, rather than getting mad at the party for running on a pro-genocide platform
