MODERATORS
Donations to Mozilla do not go to the CEO. You donate to the Mozilla Foundation, whereas the CEO that we're talking about is heading the Mozilla Corporation.
The latter is a subsidiary of the Foundation, so if the situation should get really dire, then the Foundation could hand them some money, but since the Foundation is legally a non-profit, it doesn't have much more than pocket change.
Incidentally, yes, donations to Mozilla generally do not go towards Firefox development. The Foundation rather works on lobbying governments, as well as community work (which may help win some open-source contributors for Firefox), but they often also just award donation money to less publicly known open-source projects.
