This is unacceptable. Mozilla has shown they are incapable of not abusing Firefox. There shouldn't be an advertising channel/system in the browser.

If you want to advertise, have a newsletter that people can opt into.

If you need money, allow people to pay for just Firefox.

I think many people overestimate how many people would pay for Firefox.

I absolutely would if the money went to development of Firefox and not to the different activism projects. But that isn't an option.

But you’re the minority. Firefox is already free and has what, like 3% of the market share? If it became a paid browser it’d lose like 98% of its users (if we consider an industry standard conversion rate of about 2%).
