Ask HN: Do you think Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) needs replacing?

As we all know, Mozilla recently laid off 250 employees. What is strange is that they still have so many VPs. Add in the difficulty of Firefox adding real market share for Baker's entire time as CEO and questionable focus - WebVR and Pocket - which have not taken off for years and likely still years away.

Her answer to her $2.5 million compensation sounded a bit entitled or aloof for someone heading an open-source project (https://answers.thenextweb.com/s/mitchell-baker-aGY62z).

I'm definitely not a fan as you can tell but wanted to see if others have been thinking this or if there's something I'm missing.
