As I understand, their fundraising is dead / not used for Firefox, because covering costs with them is not considered viable.

More specifically, they currently have around 200 million active users, according to this: https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity
So, even if they somehow cut costs, they'll still basically need all users to donate $2 per year. Or 1% of users to donate $200 per year. That's just more than realistically comes in through donations...
