PayPal donations do not work(?)

Add-ons addons.mozilla.org
#1

When I click “Contribute” button on any addon page and then “Make contribution”, connection to PayPal times out and error page appears.

Is seems that addons.mozilla.org is trying to connect to urls like this: https://paypal.com/webapps/adaptivepayment/flow/pay?paykey=xxx which are not responding. When I add “www”: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/adaptivepayment/flow/pay?paykey=xxx and manually visit this url page loads without any problem.

Could you confirm this problem or does this issue only occur in my network?

I just donte for S3.Google Translator and it is successful.

My first use of the donation routine was a few minutes ago with Firefox 55.0b9 (32-bit) on Kubuntu. I chose to donate:

  • $50

– without entering a decimal point.

The routine appeared to complete without error, however there was no prompt for authentication, which made me suspicious, so I subsequently:

  1. visited https://www.paypal.com/gb/home
  2. logged in
  3. proceeded to https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/activity
  4. found no activity.

Is the transaction, made through Firefox, queued somewhere?

Or is it safe for me to retry the donation routine?

The transaction is performed entirely on Paypal, so you shouldn’t worry about something being pending or incomplete on our side.

Thanks.

I retried the donation routine, it worked.
