Does Firefox make money even if I don't use Google as my default search engine? (sh.itjust.works)

How does it work anyway? I mean, how does Firefox make money? Are they paid per google search or something like that?

And, do they make money if I use forks of firefox and use Google on them?

And, what are the total number of active users for Mozilla and do the forks account into this count?

They get paid by Google just to keep existing as a competitor
