I think nearly everyone would be willing to pay the ~$2/year to use Firefox if all browsers weren't free.

At that price, the main reason not to pay is the hassle rather than just downloading.

Thanks for the context about the revenue of Firefox. I had never given it any though.

Don't forget $2 in USA buys you different things than in Russia, China, India, or Africa.

They have on their donations a monthly donation. That's hassle free. You can also donate to them through Amazon smile.
