I assume they do get quite a bit of money from Mozilla Foundation, which does.

I asked the Mozilla Foundation if anything from the donations goes to the browser, they said no, not a single penny.

The Foundation does not provide money to the Corporation. Look at the annual financial statements.

Mozilla Corporation is a for-profit company. Depending on the legislation it is sometimes forbidden to take donation, or at least very difficult/limited for company.
Mozilla Foundation is the non-profit organization (and they do take donation).

They probably can take donations just fine but there is no tax deduction for the donor.

because otherwise users would have a saying in the direction web browsers evolve and Google would be sad
Half kidding there

So they’re accepting donations after all?
