Is there any way to directly donate to firefox (and not other mozilla related things)?

If some ex-Mozilla devs would set up a Patreon (or other platform) to work exclusively on Firefox I would donate.

Basically do the same as Godot, Blender, etc. small team but focused on the project

Maybe some of those fired engineers could fork it. I'd pay 5$ a month for a non-google organization that is not lead by Marissa and is developing an open browser.

They were not asking for a completely random fork, thanks.

My point was, that apparently there are already quite some projects forking ff, so if OP wants to support a mozilla free ff, he has already the chance to do so today.

And even if there were, you could be subsidizing Mozilla, because they can simply give Firefox less now that you're supporting it

It boggles the mind, doesn’t it? I’d happily pay a month fee for a branded “deluxe” Firefox.
