Salary, bonus, and benefits amounted to a TC of around 300 Mozilla’s layoffs were to get rid of the highly paid engineers, IMO. We have new talent coming in fresh and loose for a bunch less. We also have a lot of cash in the bank. Mozilla is wealthy. CFO was asked to increase runway.

That makes sense (as explanation, not necessarily justification). In general, this remote era is a "great" way to push dev salaries down, even for organizations that were already decently remote like Mozilla.
