If it's free, you're the product.

Typically, yes. But, unless things have changed, the VPN that Mozilla (Firefox) previously offered was rebranded Mullvad. Assuming they're going to use Mullvad for this offering as well, I don't think that saying applies here.

Or it's supported by donations and volunteer time.
