I do donate to the foundation, but as others have said, that's a separate organization. I guess I could "donate" to Firefox by getting a VPN subscription, but I don't want a VPN and I think that would send the wrong message. I would like to monetarily indicate that I value Firefox specifically.

Maybe you should contribute to one of the many "fix bugs for money" websites where you can specifically donate money to get bugs in open source products fixed. It's even better because it doesn't have to be a Mozilla employee who does the actual fix.

That's very very cool, but I too would specifically like to pay Mozilla for Firefox. I have been a dedicated user since Phoenix 0.2 and it is near to my heart, my soul, and my profession.
