Mozilla Firefox Google site asking for donations? You make your enough money thorough Search Suggestions on the top right corner of the browser whether it be google, yahoo, bing ect.. search engines you make a loads of cash thanks to those guys. So why are you asking your users for donations? Its a bit of a greedy move given the fact how Mozilla makes its money. Is there anyway to hide your donations msg?

Please stop asking users for donations or I'll switch to Chrome or Safari.

How rude! Not like Mozilla is forcing you to pay for the privilege of using Firefox. If you don't want to see the "snippet" requesting donations [for only as long as this promotion lasts], just change your homepage. Or switch to a different browser!
