If donations doubled, would CEO pay double?

If donations halved, would CEO pay halve?

I suspect the answer is "no" to both of those.

Exactly, so the donations are not being funneled to the CEO, and suggesting that they are would be silly.

If you split up your donation by how Mozilla actually spends its money, then most goes to operating Mozilla, and a small amount (~1%) goes to paying the CEO.

I agree but your tone suggests you’re disagreeing with me? That’s the point I am driving at. Directly linking every donated dollar to the CEO’s pay simply because they’re close in number does not make sense.
