Calling whatever you like "profit" cant really be rebutted, it's subjective semantics.

Yes CEOs are paid lots of money. Why would mozilla choose to over pay staff?

    Are you really asking why would the people at the top of an organization choose to overpay themselves?

    Sorry boss it's kinda laughable to suggest they choose their own salaries.

    Obviously it would be negotiated, with a panel overseeing the procurement and hiring process.

    That panel has no interest in overpaying executives. Obviously they would pay just enough to secure someone with the right network and skills. Just because they earn more than you does not mean they're overpaid.

    Oh, so they and their friends are part of a panel that chooses each others salaries? I wonder how that ends up with everyone getting bloated salaries. Such a mystery.

    It doesn't take a genious to figure this out. Look at executive salaries from other companies. They are clearly over-compensated on average.

    Just because they earn more than you does not mean they're overpaid.

    I don't care that they make more than me. I care that their salary keeps going up, while Firefox's market-share keeps going down, and the product keeps getting worse.
