Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "

I don't think many people criticise the developers salaries, but that of the management. The CEO's has multiplied by an order of magnitude while market share has plumeted. From my cursory search it went from ~$500k/y in 2009 to slightly over $1m/y in 2016 after which it sharply increased, today it's over $5m/y. Market share went from 30% to single digit, so it can't be performance based compensation.

And then there's the question on priotisation and scope expansion, which also determines how much money the need.

Reading shit like “fuck Mozilla” and “Mozilla is dead” pisses me off extremely. That is just ignorant.

Sure aren't constructive, but you'll always have those on the internet so i'd say the default should be to just mentally filter them out. However that doesn't mean that there aren't actual reasons to criticise Mozilla.
