I want Firefox to succeed more than ever and I support Mozilla finding better revenue sources than search engine default sales, but I do not support a $7M salary for its CEO.
I canceled my recurring donation to Mozilla because I need that money more than Mozilla’s CEO needs that money.
If there is a direct funding option of developers working on Firefox, I will happily reallocate that money. Send me links.
@Jeremiah I don’t think the CEO is paid through the same legal entity that receives the donations, but I could be wrong. There are two Mozilla entities though, a non-profit and a for-profit.
@Gargron@Jeremiah The for-profit corp is wholly controlled by the non-profit one.
Like the OP, I don't really agree with the CEO's salary (and would not donate for that reason), but Mozilla did increase their revenue considerably over that period. IIRC she has made arguments about her pay scale vs other IT executives that sounded plausible (the $6 mil is not her pay scale BTW; most of that was bonuses tied to the new revenue).
Caution: Brendan Eich has been grinding this axe loudly for years
@tasket I don't donate for the same reason. Nobody deserves to earn $6M a year, regardless of any arguments. We continue to propagate the nefarious ideas of capitalism by validating such a mindset.
