I see this sentiment pop up occasionally but it’s rare that anyone ever explains what else the Mozilla Foundation does that’s so egregious to make it not worth donating.

Pretty much all their other projects are not really worth it, e.g. that mobile OS, Firefox Send, their VPN, all those AI projects recently, Pocket,... and usually just lead to dead ends. Thunderbird might be an exception if I needed an email client but I do not.

And the ones that do seem useful and good bang for the buck, like Mozilla Observatory, get abandoned.
