IMO this is one the least offensive ways for Firefox to get revenue.
Mozilla employs, what, over 700 people to constantly maintain a Browser that is not financed through ad-tech and tracking (Google) or skimming developer revenue (Apple). Having a tab open with a Disney collaboration, that includes some colorful themes, every couple months seems fair to me.
I mean this does not interfere with your day to day browsing, there is no ad-tracking and the partnering with Disney does not create a conflict of interest in terms of Firefox's privacy features.
To be clear, this is not my favorite thing in the world and I agree, these campaigns should not happen monthly, but I'm okay with it for the reasons above :)
