There is a difference between a non-profit and a non-for-profit (most health insurance companies are the later; go try and figure that out).

Firefox gets most of its donations from corporate sponsors. That's why the default search and switched back and fourth between Yahoo and Google; it's all about the amount of money they contribute for that. I'm not sure, but Pocket might be another example.

User contributions are actually pretty low. They don't go out and request them though like NPR or Wikipedia.

You're confusing mozilla foundation and mozilla corporation here. The default search with google and yahoo is not donations for the foundation but a commercial contract with the corporation.

I'm not sure mozilla even gets a significant amount of donations compared to their commercial contracts.

Mozilla bought Pocket a while ago.
