That's a huge pay rise for the biggest cheese in the Mozzarella Foundation, which is still lagging behind Google and even Microsoft in desktop browser popularity. While it hasn't suffered any major losses, it didn’t make any gains.

In fact, it's almost as if there is an inverse relationship between Firefox Marketshare and Mozilla CEO compensation. As the Red Panda’s marketshare goes down, CEO pay increases by a similar percentage.

It turns out though that Baker met the required targets these include - continued increases to overall corporate financial assets and transitioning Mozilla away from Firefox.

Earlier this year, Mozilla laid out their vision for the future of their organization -- and it did not include Firefox.

According to Mozilla, the focus for the future of Mozilla is based around Artificial Intelligence services. Mozilla leadership stated this year that they intend to take Mozilla "in a different direction."

When you consider Mozilla's goals, the decreasing Firefox marketshare is no longer much of a concern. Moving revenue away from Firefox, while investing in A.I. systems (and other subscription services) becomes the primary goal.

Baker wants to speed things up and says in the State of Mozilla report: "The pace is not enough, the impact is not enough."

As you'd expect from a tech firm, the report is heavy on AI going mainstream where Mozilla thinks it can make a difference in the tech, especially about open source developers and privacy.

Mozilla' says it has 15 engineers working on open source large language models and is working on uses in the health space.

Mozilla.ai boss Moez Draief said: "There's a lot of structured data work in that industry that will feed the language models; we don't have to invent it."
