They bought pocket for at least 5 million, what a waste of money.

Pocket was revenue positive for a while, they probably still made money on it.

Compared to the other ways Mozilla has set money on fire while taking its eye off the ball, $5 million is immaterial really.

It's significantly less than the ceo salary, albeit the yearly one.

$5 million is pocket change.

No, it's Pocket change. Which could be better spent on the CEO's salary!
