Firefox is not owned by Amazon.

Firefox is owned by the Mozilla Foundation and it's subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation, which is a non profit organization and a for profit entity, and respectively are dedicated to promoting of openness, innovation and also the public interest on the internet.

The Mozilla Foundation is a non profit organization which serves as the parent organization for the Mozilla Corporation.

The Mozilla Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, which handles the development, the distribution and the promotion of Firefox and other internet related applications.

And both the the Mozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation are guided by the Mozilla Manifesto, which also outlines principles for a healthier and more open internet and prioritizes user's rights and their privacy.

Firefox has never been about maximizing profits and Firefox is not backed by or owned by billionaires and their lone shareholder is a non profit who has a mission to build an open and secure internet ecosystem which places privacy, security and the rights of individuals over bottom lines.
