Firefox is under corporation, not foundation. Mozilla Corporation expenses are $400M+, not $100M.

If we adjust to these numbers, we need to quadruple the number of paying users, up to some 1.2% of the total user base. Let's add a safety margin, and bump it to 2%.

Still does not look impossible to attain.
