Comparing Firefox to Chrome is a little complicated as it comes default on pretty much all Android phones.

Million dollar salaries are excessive IMHO and rarely justified. I’m with you on that.
Some things Mozilla does, and doesn’t do, have been instrumental in not only bringing awareness, but security for the web and triggering dialogue. That openness is important and not something Google has been known for.
