I moved back to FF after Quantum but haven't been happy with the latest round of UI changes (which also seems to have turned the buttery performance of quantum into a stuttery mess on my machine)

Guess firing those people that brought you those improvement really paid up for Mozilla execs.

Would you recommend they simply stop paying their engineers instead?

No. Stop paying the execs. They obviously are steering the ship into the rocks.

Okay you've paid for ten additional engineers. What would you like to do with the remaining 240[1]?

Let's say they fire all existing execs. Poach some talented ones from other tech companies who are capable of righting the ship. How much do you suggest to pay them? If less than what they currently make, how many do you think will be willing to jump?

Eich was competent and happy being paid peanuts. Maybe they shouldn't have burnt that bridge ;-)
