You can turn the advertising off if it bothers you.

What in your opinion should Mozilla do to monetize Firefox? When they get money from Google to be the default search engine, people complain. When they add extremely subtle advertising that you can turn off, people complain.

To turn off advertising on Firefox for at least Android, Settings - Homepage - Sponsored Shortcuts.

I thought it was clear "back on the home screen" was implying that they had turned the ads off, then Mozilla turned the ads back on without the user's consent.

There needs to be a link between donations and turning off monetisation features.

The Mozilla Corporation doesn't accept donations. Is it even possible for a US-based corporation to accept a donation?
