I would love to give Firefox money, as long as they slash their CEO's ridiculous salary

And slash the CEO as well. Not literally of course.

I'm in the same boat. Mozilla can't be trusted with donations until they can prove they spend money responsibly. Money, like trust, should not be given by default.

I'm paying for a VPN on a monthly basis, as well as for cloud storage - I'd pay for Firefox too. However, they didn't come up with the idea of subscriptions, but damn ads...

They have subscriptions to finance Firefox, including a VPN - it's just Mullvad with a different name plus some integrations with the browser, but if you need a VPN and want to help Firefox it's a good way to do it
