A comment on The Mozilla Manifesto.

I think it deserves mentioning that if any individual here believes that what Mozilla does is valuable, either to them selves or to others, and would like to "put money where their mouth is" as it were, then they can do so here: https://donate.mozilla.org

I had not thought about donating until these recent layoffs, but have now set a monthly 5$ donation up, as Mozilla's tools and work mean enough to my own interests, as well as being important enough for the internet as a whole, for me to donate.

Sadly the public donations will never be enough to cover their whole operational expenses, but every little bit helps.

I really don’t think feeding more money to their flagrantly incompetent and greedy management right now is at all the best course of action if you want to see them do well. The absolute best thing you can hope for that the public backlash to their recent decisions is strong enough to manifest a financial incentive for those in charge at moz to reconsider their business strategy. By encouraging others to donate, you’re essentially rewarding this behavior and reaffirming that this strategy is financially lucrative for them.
