I am in my seventies. I have the Firebird 1 tee shirt :-) . I recently received a missive from Thunderbird asking for a donation. I click through and get a donate button. THE DONATE BUTTON DOES NOT WORK in Firefox with NoScript. WTF.

I follow some IT forums and I am to update with security and userability issues. The best advice as I see it is to TURN OFF scripts with NoScript.

After a lot of faffing about I donated. When I first started working 55 years ago I given 2 bits of advice. 

 1  Never put obstacles in the way of customers paying.
 2 Never put obstacles in the way of customers ordering.

I think you should heed the first bit of advice. How many Thunderbird users were tempted to donate but were in a similar position to me and gave up?

I donate with a paper check, sent to:

MZLA Technologies Corp PO Box 25718 Pasadena, CA 91185-5718

Yeah, it's old school. I do not recall if I started doing that because I did not want to share data with Mozilla (I shared as little data as possible with everyone) or because I had difficulty donating over the Web. I too use NoScript.

The problem for me these days is not that firms make ordering and paying difficult, but that the software and practices I use to protect what little privacy I may still have from the claws of these firms makes ordering and paying difficult. <sigh>
