Why is Mozilla such an intolerant company?
I am trying to decide whether to uninstall Firefox from my system. First I need to understand why Mozilla forced out its CEO for holding views that its staff and volunteers found heretical? This is especially interesting given that the information gathered should have been private and Mozilla is now making a "grand stand" about the need for data privacy. Not to mention Mozilla's claims to tolerance (LOL - tolerance for one and only one viewpoint - very Orwellian).
What I would like to know is whether Mozilla will let go all those employees who provided material support to president Obama or Hillary Clinton? Both these people shared your former CEO's viewpoint and did far more to damage gay rights than the $1000 donated by the CEO. In fact, Obama ran millions of dollars worth of ads in the south targeted at black churches hilighting his support of DOMA. Clinton's husband signed DOMA into law. Clinton and Obama both publicly supported it up until 2013 when it no longer served her advantage to do so.
I would say politicians in positions of power who supported DOMA did far more damage to the rights of gays than the $1000 donated to support prop8.
Given the grand hypocrisy of Mozilla throughout this sad incident, I doubt anyone at Mozilla will act.

I have the same questions. Keep at them.
hello, unfortunately there are quite few misconceptions and wrong media reports flying around about what happened around brendans resignation as ceo and from mozilla. please refer to https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignation/ and https://medium.com/p/7645a4bf8a2 for more information on the subject.
since this venue is a primarily community run support forum, intended to provide technical support for Mozilla products, it's not the right place to have discussions around policy issues and i'm going to close this thread. if you still have concerns on the subject that you want to discuss, please take them to the mozilla governance mailing list located at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance instead.
thank you!
