Firefox is developed in the open and accepts outside contributions already. The only thing this is adding is a paid membership.

A paid membership to vote on changes and additions to the program. I think that would be pretty beneficial honestly.

So instead of a free vote you only get a paid vote?

Sure but those contributors don’t have a functional role in managing the project. This idea seems clearly distinct from the status quo.

They do? in fact they dictate almost the entire project, that's how open source works
