Mozilla needs new leadership, one that is focused on building the userbase, rather than lining their own personal pockets and riding it into the ground. The chair of the board receives 3x the salaries of the rest of the executive leadership combined[1].
There are so many ways that Mozilla the organization could do more to promote not just a browser, but the open web writ large.

- throwaway2340 3y agoCEO Mitchell Baker is even less involved with Firefox's direction than you imagine, which is probably a good thing. She's too busy playing TED Talk diplomat.
- meiraleal 3y agoNo, it is not when she gets paid millions of USD, money that could be spent making Firefox better, which it needs a lot.
- pseudalopex 3y agoMozilla's assets increased $200 million in 2021. Mitchell Baker's salary is not limiting Firefox development.
- meiraleal 3y agoAnd their market share decreased 30%. Not limiting? She destroyed it.
- pseudalopex 3y agoComplain about Baker's performance all you want. You complained about her salary. Her salary is not limiting Firefox development. Statcounter said Firefox's market share increased in 2021 surprisingly.
- jjordan 3y agoMaybe a true fork, with key players in the tech community could set things on the right path. Firefox exists in spite of, not because of, Mozilla's leadership.
- UtopiaPunk 3y agoI'd say this is true of CEOs across almost all multi-million (or billion) dollar companies. I won't say CEOs aren't important, but they're not 100x the value of the median worker in a company.
- karmakaze 3y agoFor a good CEO 100x seems fair, if we consider there's a 10x range within workers already.
