Does Firefox make money even if I don't use Google as my default search engine?

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?

It's like Google's deal with Apple. Apple receives around $10 Billion a year to make Google the default search. I don't believe Siri search can be changed, but if the user changes safari over to DDG, Apple already got paid. The amount Google pays out doesn't depend on users KEEPING Google search. Just that it was the default.
