They did try some extra services, such as VPN or Pocket. I think at this point a Pocket subscription is how one can fund Firefox.
But indeed, even if they ensure that donations go towards Firefox development, instead of other crap, that would be a step forward.
Pocket and the other Mozilla services fund Mozilla, not Firefox directly. My company uses Firefox professionally and we'd buy per-seat enterprise licences if they existed, iff they funded Firefox development.
We have no interest in funding Mozilla, whose manifesto barely mentions Firefox and who has now decided that AI is their focus.
