Time to start blocking all FF domains and IP addresses. Just like Facebook.

Glad someone else is thinking of the technical solutions. Rules and terms of service for software are meant to be broken and spat on.

I'm paying for a search engine subscription, do I have to pay for a browser too?

Honestly, if it was actually economically viable and made all bullshit go away, I'd happily pay for a browser.

I don't think Mozilla could switch to that model without significant restructuring the likes of which they've little inventive to go for.

You may not use any of Mozilla’s services to:

Do anything illegal or otherwise violate applicable law,

So is Mozilla saying that you can not use Firefox to access pirated media, recommend abortion clinics, denounce the Palestinian genocide, etc?
