The author seems to believe that donating to Mozilla will help Firefox development. That's not true. Mozilla is separated in the non-profit with the goal of making the web better, and Mozilla corporation, which is 100% owned by the non-profit which is there for FF development. Donating to Mozilla only serves to finance various campaigns of the non-profit. The corporation finances itself through deals such as the one with Google for it to be the default search engine.

Yes, I also had the same thought when he mentioned about donating to mozilla. It's kinda sad that money donated by users don't go towards the development of firefox.
