Are you sure it’s legit? I have no basis for my opinion, but my gut urges caution.

I was scared too, but I verified it was actually the verified FireFox account DMing me, and although I didn't check the store very well (I was very excited, very bad mistake I know), it all seemed legit. I remember before I got gifted the coupon, I thought: There's a Mozilla store? So I searched it online and then verified that it was the same link they sent me (still did it though a search engine just in case, and the coupon worked as intended).
I don't know what else I could've done to verify it, but I'd like to be optimistic, specially since it's such a random event lol (Even if I did end up getting scammed, I only lost like 10 usd lol)
EDIT: FireFox just liked my last post about the purchase, so unless they were hacked, it's legit!
I'm also generally skeptical, but the fact that it's a coupon code and a token amount makes me think it's legit. You shouldn't need to give up any personal info to redeem a coupon.
If it's from the firefox account, I don't see why it should be a scam.
A giftcard for their own store is something very cheap to hand out for a raffle and is done quite regularly.
And as long as you used the official store, I don't see any problem with it
