These help by spreading the word about Serenity and Firefly. It gets people interested in Firefly/Serenity. And also keeps us interested in Firefly/Serenity.
Like going to see our Big Darn Heroes. Or going to a conventions in Serenity/Firefly wear or costumes. It doesn't put money in Universal's pockets. But it generates interest. Makes people take a second look at Firefly/Serenity.
And the Firefly Ariel Ambulance is touring conventions. http://www.arielambulance.org
There is also Firefly Official Merchandise which does not put money in Universal's pockets, but is shiny too!
Firefly the TV show: Firefly the Complete Series DVD box set
Firefly the Official Companion Volume I and II

Actually, one of the best things you can do is to watch the Firefly marathons when they come on SciFi, watch Serenity when it comes on HBO or pay-per-view.
The fans funding a movie thing isn't going to happen.
"Hollywood wants to make money."
Well, yeah.
Movie studios are corporations and they have shareholders. The corporation is legally obligated to make money for the shareholders. (See the movie "The Corporation" if you want to get some knowledge on how that works. It's a real eye-opener.)
If Uni...or any other studio...started greenlighting movies that weren't guaranteed to make money...LOTS of money, the shareholders would have people's heads. Art or no art.
You want to support Firefly? You want to get a sequel to Serenity?
Support the existing product.
And let the studios know that you're interested in more.
Speaking of which: isn't Thank Universal Day coming up soon? 
P.S.
It's Big DAMN Heroes.

I concur with everyone that says a fan-financed movie isn't going to happen, but...
It is happening elsewhere. Remember Tim Brazeal, the guy that raised over 3 million dollars to try and stop Star Trek: Enterprise from being cancelled? And was turned down by the studio? Well, he and Jon Caras, a Hollywood producer, have set up a place called Scifi Studios. To point of which is to get fans involved in the creation of new scifi TV shows and movies. There was a lot of suspicision that this was a ploy to take your money, but I've been hanging out there for several months now and it seems on the level. Not really relevant to the task at hand, but just thought I'd mention it.

Soon Serenity will be on HBO-on-demand which means HBO viewers can request to see Serenity when they want for free or no additional HBO charge.
Speaking of the Firefly Marathon!
