I mean, being a succesful ceo at a declining company is much harder than being one at a growing company. At a growing company you just have to not screw up, and a declining company you have to actually turn things around. It doesn't seem totally unreasonable to get higher pay doing a harder job (presuming she is actually good at her job)

Given that nothing has turned around, it's hard to point to any evidence that she's doing a good job. The best she can claim is that had anyone else been CEO things would have declined even faster, and that's not something anyone can prove.

What more do people want at this time? She’s quitting. Now we can see how the next CEO somehow manages to defeat the multiple massive anti-competitive behemoths Mozilla is up against.

We just want to not be gaslit into believing that she did a great job, which she clearly didn’t

I’m not sure why all the excuses made for her

I wonder if they'll work on the little things. Like text reflow for their mobile browser.

We have a massive aging population, and text reflow helps immensely, and only Opera does jt well.

I'd like to see her donate half the salary she took back to Mozilla, since she obviously didn't earn it. She doubled her pay several times. Did the engineers doing the work get their pay doubled? No. The only person who did that was the one who was failing in her role. It's actually quite disgusting, just a blatant money grab because no one would stop her.
