Would love to see the compensation their board members and execs are claiming.

""" For VPs and above, we benchmark compensation against a blended peer group comprised of 70% similarly-sized public and private tech companies and 30% non-profit organizations. This approach serves to reinforce our mission-first orientation. Consistent with market best practice, at least 70% of compensation for senior leadership is “at risk” and tied to individual and company performance. """

The CEO (Mitchell Baker) made around $2.3M in 2017.

given the lackluster performance of firefox in recent years, and 70% being performance based, how has this number gone up? ($2.5M in 2018)
For the past couple of years the main measurable objective has been the second derivative of Firefox market share, ie. just slowing down the bleed was enough to get 100% (or over 100%) company performance based bonuses.
Because the benchmark went up.
Because the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit, this information is public, at least partially! The latest numbers are from 2018.
