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've been donating to them every year for the past 5+ years. Given them every benefit of the doubt... Even defended them. Then this popup came up on all my machines this morning, so no more.

Now to find another browser... Maybe some Firefox fork or something? Like WTF every other browser is Chromium... Man this sucks, I'm about ready to quit the internet.

If it helps, I've been using LibreWolf as a secondary browser for a while and haven't noticed issues:
