From Mitchell Baker's Wikipedia page:

"In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008.[14] On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."[15]

By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic."

There is no incentive to do so.

Could someone clarify whether donations to Mozilla are earmarked for Firefox specifically? Or is it for unrelated initiatives, and Firefox is only funded through Google?

I assume the donation money can't legally reach Mitchell Baker, since it goes through the Mozilla non-profit, but the whole Mozilla Corp vs Mozilla non-profit structure and the handling of funds is still very confusing to me.

Firefox is developed by the Corp, and you can only donate to the Foundation - so no, donations don't go to Firefox directly.

Also I do believe Baker is president of both, though the big paycheck comes from the Corp IIRC.
