There's Mozilla Corp and Mozilla Foundation. The Corp is what runs Firefox ("supported" by sponsored content (that's complained about) and deals with search engines).

Mozilla Corp is a subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation.

If all ties with sponsorships are severed, Mozilla Foundation is what would keep Firefox afloat.

The existance of these sponsorships are pseudo-equivalent to donating.
