1. Firefox is not GPL, it is MPL and these licenses are not the same although both are open source.
2. There is no reason why you cannot be paid for making GPL'd (Free) software, many people are.
The real reason why there is a difference between Open Source and Free Software is that Free Software is more of an ethical philosophy. Open Source is a practical, technical and business strategy.

"Software is information that belongs to all people and it is wrong to restrict who can use it, learn from it and distribute improved versions of it"
