From what I’ve been noticing, they’re going downhill since they started being supported by their competitor and monopoly. Could they be suffering from sabotage, I wonder…
/u/Nora is right. There was a short period when Yahoo! made a better offer to be the default search engine a long time ago, but Google was already there and came back to Firefox swiftly.
You’ve got it backwards. It’s the threat of anti-trust against Google’s ownership of Chrome that puts Firefox at risk. Google has pretty much always supported / paid Firefox either to have Google as the default search or more direct support to stave off the anti-trust claims.
However, if Google has to sell / spin-off chrome, there is no longer as big of a reason to fund Mozilla and that’s why you’re seeing Moz scramble to find new ways to find funding. This AI push is no doubt a desperate attempt to lure in investor dollars as they’re reading the room and see that their current funds will likely disappear in the coming years
In 2018, Baker received $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla.[16] In 2020, after returning to the position of CEO, Baker’s salary was more than $3 million. In 2021, her salary rose again to more than $5.5 million,[17] and again to over $6.9 million in 2022.[18
That’s just one of the C-dipshits.
According to Mozilla, roughly 2/5 (that’s 40%) of its expenses were to pay leadership.
And what do we get from this highly paid leadership workforce? Gross mismanagement, failure to capitalize on services, services that are cancelled prematurely eroding customer confidence, terrible marketing…
But I’d love to see how you arrived at less than a percent.
Nowhere in this financial statement does it state leadership / executive compensation just that overall payroll expenses for 2023 were $328 million - I fear you’re misreading the financial statement
I fear you have no idea how to read a financial statement
Total expenses for 2023 were $496 million (plus income tax puts it at $511 million). Total salary expenses were $328 million, approximately 66% of all expenses. On the financial statement, there is absolutely no mention of executive compensation so no clue where you’re pulling this line that executive compensation made up 40% of all expenses.

Hasn’t google pretty much always supported Mozilla/firefox? I was pretty sure this was the case since basically forever.
Now I’m not sure so will have to check. But even if so, they still kept gradually advancing in their support for Mozilla.

Started going downhill when they kicked out Brendan Eich for being a creep. The creep’s a competent engineer tho.

Edit: spelling
Finally a useful comment! Thanks!
You take out the c-suite and other top executives and the demand for funds in Mozilla diminishes dramatically.
If by dramatically you mean by <1% then sure. Their problems are much larger than executive compensation

I have highlighted it to give you a fighting chance. Maybe this time you can muster the faculties to read it.
