Several times I've tried to DONATE to Firefox using my VISA card without success. No detail reasons are given but a notification of "problem" is received. I have crosschecked my personal and VISA card information and they are correct and in perfect alignment with database information at the Bank that issued the card. I HAVE MADE DONATIONS TO OTHERS and made online purchases using the card.So it is baffling that I cannot succeed with donatiion of mere $10-$20 to FIREFOX. Could it be you need to tweak the DONOR ONLINE FORM so that it is more donor-friendly to potential donors from WEST AFRICÁ!!

It's quite possible that our payment processor is flagging your payment as fraudulent, even though it isn't. If you can use PayPal, I would recommend doing so. (Note: You do not need a PayPal account to pay via PayPal with a Visa card)

Alternatively, you can always donate using Bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is digital cash, there is no payment processor who can stop a transaction. The money goes straight from you to Mozilla- with no middle man. https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/content/give-bitcoin/
