If Mozilla is still having to do a paid option - MDN Plus - they are obviously not getting enough. Looks like around the price of one employee for the top funders.

Unless Mozilla is suddenly operating for profit and following the ol' "why get some of the money when you can get all of the money" business model.

You're thinking of the Mozilla Foundation, which is not-for-profit. The Foundation owns the Mozilla Corporation, which is "for-profit" and develops Firefox and MDN.

Money flows from the Corporation to the Foundation every year.

They may not be for profit, but they can be inefficient enough.

pretty sad state of things that the top 10 corporate contributors bottoms out at $25 in contributions.

The number 7 corporate donor is below the number 9 individual donor.
