    Mozilla do spend a lot of money on software development, 220 million last year, out of total expenses of 425 million which came from a taking of 593 million of which 81% comes from Google.

      They need to introduce bounty system so people can give money for specific features.

      As far as I’m concerned they only produce two useful pieces of software: Firefox and Thunderbird. The rest of the money is going into a black hole.

        The rest of the money goes into fighting for software freedom, developing infrastructure tools and other things they’re very open about.

        Personally I don’t donate because I prefer to help small open source efforts where a little money makes a big difference, especially protects which I believe could help emerging open source communities grow or inspire more cc content. I’m glad Mozilla exist and that they get so much money from Google and donations
