I see.

There's a clear shortage of engineers in Mozilla projects. Why isn't the money from donations used for that instead of political stuff?

If the guys over at Mozilla don't want to use the money for engineering purposes, I think they should stop asking for donations and tell people to donate to entirely political projects such as the EFF instead.

The Firefox project is literally years behind in security and performance, I think the Mozilla Foundation doesn't understand how critical the current situation is.

How does that change anything?

Do you have (multiprocess|sandbox) enabled for all users of all platforms and compatible with all addons?

For how many years have your competitors had that?

You're years behind, losing market share every month. You like to make it look like it's because Google is pushing Chrome with their money, but your product is simply inferior. And instead of getting engineers, you're wasting your money on political stuff.

The Mozilla project is dying a sad death.

Mozilla has never been just about shipping a browser. That "political stuff" that you are so dismissive of is a core part of Mozilla's existence.
