So, basically you want better management for firefox, and hope funding to magically appear out of thin air? Are you sure that the loss of market share is due to mismanagement? Could it not be due to a competitor with unfair advantage? I mean the fact that even MS stopped their own development would suggest that to me. So the concrete point you have against management: it is expensive. Does that explain the current situation? What if the CEO had a 300k salary, would that fundamentally change anything? Edit: as a metter of fact, I also believe that a change is required, but I would look at the funding side, to diversify it. I would look into government funding (multiple governments), license merchandise, ask for individual donations, partner with more companies to sell rebranded versions of their products/services like with Mozilla VPN, etc.

>So, basically you want better management for Firefox, and hope funding to magically appear out of thin air? No, I quit trusting Mozilla. I don't want another management. I want Firefox to be taken care of by another company/ NGO / consortium of companies. I want it to have a good development team and concentrate on technical excellence and user needs. >So the concrete point you have against management: it is expensive. I'm more concerned with the fact that developers are fired while CEO is getting some fat checks while usage is declining and users are becoming more unhappy with Firefox.

Yes it would; it would make 2.7 million dollars of funding magically appear. I also think her attitude of entitlement to such an unreasonable salary is contradictory with Mozilla's beliefs. It seems like an awful match. And 3m is really high for a non profit. Wikimedia's CEO gets ~$400k a year. https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_salaries https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_salar...
