Don’t Mozilla products, like Firefox, earn income?
Firefox is maintained by the Mozilla Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. While Firefox does produce revenue — chiefly through search partnerships — this earned income is largely reinvested back into the Corporation. The Mozilla Foundation’s education and advocacy efforts, which span several continents and reach millions of people, are supported by philanthropic donations.
It is funny to me how the first link doesn't actually tell you how you money is used, but just points to Mozilla Foundation home page.
In short, if you donate expecting that your money helps Firefox, you're doing it wrong.
