The headline is ambiguous here. The CEO in question is from Onerep, not Mozilla.

And that is not related to the comment. If this partner is gone, Firefox lost a big deal.

Context. People seemed to be complaining about Mozilla's CEO. That's why I wanted to clarify for anyone reading the comments first.
