As far as I know, the Mozilla Corporation is owned by the Mozilla Foundation, which is a non-profit with the mission to make the internet a better place, or something along those lines. So shouldn't we look at the boards of things like the Wikimedia Foundation or the Internet Archive instead of bay area CEOs for comparison?
It's also not a particularly good look when your own salary keeps rising while you're laying people off and market share keeps plummeting (in my neck of the woods, Firefox actually used to be dominant at 60%+)...
That said, I haven't looked at this in any kind of detail, and all I know of Baker is what her Wikipedia article tells me, which includes writing the Mozilla Public License, managing mozilla.org on a volunteer basis for a while and being instrumental in the creation of the Mozilla Foundation.

Here's the highest paid employee of all three in 2021 (as that's the last year where there's data on all three): Internet Archive: $158,777 (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/943242767 https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/943...) Wikimedia Foundation: $406,339 (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200049703 https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200...) Mozilla Foundation: $337,714 (https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200097189 https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200...) I wouldn't classify any of those salaries as exorbitantly large. Hell, I'm fairly certain at least some people shitting on them here earn more than that working at a for-profit.
