    Well, the only shareholder of the Mozilla Corporation (which develops Firefox) is the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.

    So, the MoCo essentially cannot pay out profits to anyone, meaning those ads directly pay for the wages of the people creating Firefox. No ads would mean fewer employees and less progress.
