Again, what you donate don't fund FF development but goes toward Mozilla's bullshit/activism/whatever/huge CEO paychecks. Who cares about that?

Mozilla CEO pay is $6M, and the rest of the board members are about $0.7M or less. Total executive compensation is a little under $10M.

Their total revenue is $64M. By and large, the money is going toward developers and activism, which is where it should go.
