    Do you have anything showing donations don’t actually go to Firefox development?

      Firefox is developed by the Mozilla Corporation, which is owned by the Mozilla Foundation. The corporation can send money to the foundation but not the other way around.

      Here’s a really nice thread on Hacker News where they dig into the financial statements from the Mozilla Foundation. Also, here’s a link to Mozilla’s FAQ where it vaguely mentions how Firefox funding works.
