So the CEO can get a raise? Nah, thanks.

CEO makes 3M per year, googling shows Mozilla revenue is ~900M, I haven't researched her and know nothing of her competence and effectiveness but I would have no issue with even a 5M salary for a person that would help build a strong enough open source browser.. the whole world would be better for it and I find it to be a small price to pay

CEO also laid off 200 people while keeping his salary. Not a good person.

Is the CEO's job to maximise payroll?

The CEO's job is to grow the company and have it improve or make products. Tanking Firefox and firing the developers (Servo team) is the opposite of that.

For all I care, a CEO can get whatever, if it's from the funds they raised, exclusively. Just not my donations or revenue directly from the product other people made. A "vision" or "leadership" isn't worth that much. Maybe connections are. Basically get payed for the stuff they exclusively enable.

Maybe that's even what's happening here. I agree, it's probably not the main issue at hand considering the overall financial situation.
