Are donations to the Mozilla Foundation via the in-Firefox donation drive used to fund Firefox development

When I opened Firefox[^1] today I was greeted with a "Donate to Mozilla Foundation" page open, with the message:

"You power Firefox. Now donate to make good tech the default.

Mozilla Foundation — the non-profit behind Firefox — is building a future where technology serves people, not power.

Your donation to Mozilla Foundation keeps the internet open, private, and built for people. Donate today to make good on the promise of the internet."

Does this message mean that Donations to the Mozilla Foundation now fund Firefox development? As I understand it, previously donations were not allowed to be used by the Mozilla Corporation, which actually develops Firefox. I'd love to donate to fund Firefox development, as I feel it is a critically important open source project.

[^1]: 145.0.2 from the Mozilla Debian repository.

Is it possible to make a donation to Mozilla without providing so much personal information? I got a message on Firefox today asking for a donation, but when I tried to do that, I was asked for my home address. It's a general rule of internet marketing that people who use the internet would rather do anything than pay for something, so it's bad psychology to impose unnecessary conditions when you're asking for a donation. I don't have to provide my home address when I make donations to other organisations, so why does Mozilla need my home address? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it!

Thanks,

Shaun.

I am logging in to my browser as normal, but am still getting the notification "You must log in to this network before you can access the Internet". This is cutting me off from regular internet access as if I was not logged in.
