I think you need a CEO, you just don't need a CEO that is paid $7m/year. That's ludicrous. What amazing decisions have they been making that were worth that amount? Have they really contributed more than a team of 70 developers could?

There are plenty of competent people that could be CEO for far less, like $200k/year.

It doesn't even have to be that. Take that and bump it 5 times like a million dollars. Throw in more cash if they can increase Firefox's market share. Have clauses to penalize anything about opt-out telemetry or anti-privacy features. I'm happy to add more carrots as well as more sticks.

All said and done, that will still be way more reasonable than that ludicrous salary.

I would be fine with $6 million if it was making at least that much more in revenue because of the CEO, but I highly suspect that it is not. I think $600K would be PLENTY and would pull in talented execs and managers.
