My response to YOU is to FIRE YOU ON ALL MY DEVICES! I have had Fiefox since the beginning. I am extremely disappointed. I expected better from such a company.

Brendan was not fired as he made the personal decision to step down for Mozilla and the Mozilla community. If any article(s) you saw said he was fired then it was incorrect.


The decision to step down as CEO was made by Brendan. Since the moment Brendan was appointed, free and open discussion has come from a diverse spectrum of viewpoints. Mozilla is an organization that believes in openness and that no one should be persecuted for the beliefs they hold, no matter what those beliefs are. We believe in unconditional freedom and openness. That's why we support rights for everyone.

I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way. We must put our focus back on protecting the Web, and we are doing so in a way that I hope will make you proud to support Mozilla again in the future. I wish you all the best with whichever browser you choose to use in the meantime.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I would also like to share with you Mitchell Baker's blog post on this subject and hope that you will take this into account in your decision about which browser to use: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/03/brendan-eich-steps-down-as-mozilla-ceo/"
