You need to figure out why you and your project only get to 25-50% completion. Address the issues on your side and pick projects you're more likely to finish. The biggest motivator is doing something you like. The biggest "demotivation" nowadays is being young and used to constant rewards for doing tiny tasks (or nothing at all)- of course you'll find hard work with no reward over a long time horizon impossible to do.

You can use firefox ESR until it too gets phased out: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
That's the excuse they provide every time. Their actual intention is to low-ball as much as they can.

He tried, and went back only when he had no other option
Exactly. Even if you don't want it for yourself you could at least milk Facebook for some good purpose. But as I said in an earlier comment, there must have been some negotiation between them and FB
I would guess there was some negotiation we don't know about, and that's why they're giving up some money.
I'd rather be surprised at how many people comment without reading the article first.
