Doesn't matter if that link works or not. Just goto your own Paypal
account with Tim's email address. He'll get whatever amount you put
there. AFAICT, the TDE project itself has no bank or Paypal account.
Tinothy seems to have one, however. Ay least, one can donate by
clicking the button.

using PayPal."

I guess iceweasel 38.3.0 is borked then.
Thanks Lisi.

Just in case it was an old PayPal button glitch I've refreshed the button
from the PayPal site. I also put a few other changes into effect for a
better user experience on that page, including updating the donation text
to the correct string. ;-)
If anyone who was planning to donate hasn't yet, please let me know how it
works!
There was a Paypal glitch, although browser glitches may not have improved
matters. Originally, I couldn't see the donation link at all with my normal
browser settings--I had to use an alternative browser profile to make my
donation. Now the link shows up as expected, so that's a measurable
improvement.
I suspect it may have been a case of old Paypal code + Javascript-restrictive
settings (or possibly certain versions of the Gecko layout engine) = problem.
