Sorry, your insistance of using the techniques of Wikipedia which is highly profitable (way more so than the for profit Amazon) has made me feel that I really want to wipe every bloody product of yours off my computer, and every computer I maintain. I am really fed up with this "we are poor and can't support ourselves so we force you to see the fact that we are poor and cannot support ourselves on you every day you use our product" type approach.

This has been *great* for Wikipedia. The level of profits that they are making are almost unheard of in the commercial world. Yet they claim to be a non-profit. Just as you do. Good luck with this.

hi JigmeDatse, as this a community & volunteer driven technical support forum, it's not the right place to discuss policies (we can neither speak for mozilla, nor are we responsible for their decisions). a better place to bring up this topic would be the mozilla governance mailing list at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance ...

in regards to your argument about "non-profit" - for mozilla this means that it has no shareholders which it has to generate profit for. so it can focus on its work for the public good instead. this obviously doesn't mean that money isn't an issue and that mozilla wouldn't need to raise funds in order to maintain development and to advance it's mission.

mozilla is also doing its fund-raising in the open: https://fundraising.mozilla.org/

Copying Wikipedia? They put their request for donations on their webpages on first load.

Whereas Mozilla loads their request for a donation on the default built-in about:home homepage. Mozilla isn't disrupting any webpages you view with a request.

If you don't like seeing that request, simply set your own homepage! See - How to set the home page
