I donate around 5 dollars to Wikipedia every month. Another 5 to Mozilla isn't an issue for me.

I donate to lemmy and mastodon instances. As I do believe they are using my money for good things.

I have donated in the past while still living in a third world country. I stopped when I realized how my donation was squandered.

I think in the future I will try to donate like 10 dollars a month for free software that I use, including Firefox, KDE, Thunderbird, Wikipedia, Lemmy, etc.

I think it's very important to support open source financially, because without it we would all be fucked by huge corporations. And I might sound overly anti-capitalist, but I think that most of them should be broken up.

If I had the money, an extra $5 or so would definitely be something I'd spend monthly on donating to Mozilla/Firefox.

If I had the money, an extra $N or so would definitely be something I’d spend monthly on X

The moment that it's possible to donate directly towards the development of firefox, there's roughly 10€/yr with their name on it. As it stands however, Mozilla is not funding FF at all, but rather extracting money from the project.
