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?

Firefox gets a lot of money from google for that, don't concern yourself with firefox earnings.
