It is different. Funds donated to the Mozilla Foundation cannot be used for Firefox development because that is handled by the Mozilla Corporation. Money from the Mozilla services can be used for Firefox development, but there is still no guarantee that they won't be used for something else. I wish there was a way to donate specifically to Firefox, but it seems like Mozilla tries to be unclear about how money is used.
if I thought some government or company was going to use stuff I develop to launch the nukes or control a robot fist to punch cute little puppies right in the snout then I'd start using a more restrictive license
A more restrictive license wouldn't help in that case. They would just have to publish any changes they made to your code. The primary benefit of restrictive licenses like the GPL is to prevent someone from using your code in a proprietary project without contributing anything back.
