The inability to donate to Firefox is a valid and longstanding criticism of the Mozilla corporate/foundation setup.
Mentioning this deficit in a comment chain about the projects financial sustainability is relevant and appropriate.
It is also true that many projects have funding problems, but that does not negate the parents point.
Mozilla is not a particularly good steward of Firefox and there should be a way to donate specifically to Firefox development, if just for Mozilla as an indicator on what should be their priorities.
Sorry, I think I wasn't clear. I meant to contradict the statement "You can't reasonably claim ..." with "You can [reasonably claim]".
What I am saying is that it is extremely unlikely that people would donate to Firefox, even if was possible to do so. At least not enough to actually pay for more than a few developers. (And you need more than a few developers for a browser, even if you cut useless features nobody asked for like Pocket integration.)
No, AFAIK you cannot.
