Once in a while you find a person on the internet so misinformed that you have to question whether they're a shill, a bot or a troll.

Firefox is the Mozilla foundation. You can most definetely donate to them.

They currently depend almost entirely on Google's tainted money. Because donations aren't enough to cover even a fraction of the costs of developing a free web browser. This is a good experiment to find privacy respecting ways to fund the project without depending on Google's bad practices.

Nope. The money does not go to Firefox. Please read your own links before.

Where, pray tell, do you think the link says the money goes? I already decided you are a deranged nutjob. But I'll indulge your madness just out of curiosity on the mind of the deluded.
