Yes you can donate to Mozilla Foundation. But no guarantee any such donation will actually fund Firefox development, as opposed to some completely unrelated non-technical project of theirs.

And in fact their FAQ for donations doesn't even mention Firefox under their "How will my donation be used?" section:

At Mozilla, our mission is to keep the Internet healthy, open, and accessible for all. The Mozilla Foundation programs are supported by grassroots donations and grants. Our grassroots donations, from supporters like you, are our most flexible source of funding. These funds directly support advocacy campaigns (i.e. asking big tech companies to protect your privacy), research and publications like the *Privacy Not Included buyer's guide and Internet Health Report, and covers a portion of our annual MozFest gathering.

This is clearly explained in the article. The Foundation doesn't develop Firefox and can't transfer donations to the Corporation, which does.

Mozilla Foundation != Mozilla Corporation, so donations go where the Foundation wishes, not to Firefox development.
