Will this actually let us fund Firefox development, or is it another way to line the pockets of the wildly overpaid Mozilla Foundation executives?

Sorry to be so negative, but as a long-time Firefox fan, I despair at the disparity between the funding for the Firefox team vs the executive team

Mitchell Baker made 2,698,800.00 USD in 2020 according to the IRS form[0] mozilla foundation filed, but not from the foundation but from the "related for-profit", i.e. mozilla corperation where she was and still is CEO as well (she is CEO of both, the non-profit foundation and the for-profit subsidiary at the moment). There is no such public IRS form available for 2021 yet.

Is $210k in the Bay Area “wildly overpaid?”
That looks quite far from accurate/complete/current.
