It has nothing to do with donors. The less people use Firefox to search Google and click ads on that, the less money Mozilla gets. 90% of the revenue depends on that. When nobody can even go to vacation destinations, they won't click those hotel/travel ads. |

Although Google's ad revenue has dropped 8.1% in Q2 2020 when compared to same period last year[2], I don't think people 'searched less' due to COVID-19 on Firefox, Google trends shows search has indeed increased, but rather these Search Engines might have cut down their deal value for search traffic.
