Brendan Eich was pushed to resign as CEO because he contributed $1000 in support of Prop 8 in California in 2008. He was supporting what a majority of Californians voted for and was entitled to donate to this cause. Since when is freedom of speech no longer a right? Since when do the gays call the shots of who can do what and when?

I have used Firefox for many years, but uninstalled it and will never again use it as long as you continue to punish your employees for supporting something they believe in. Are you going to start dictating the people your employees can vote for next? I sincerely hope Mr Eich found a better job somewhere else where he doesn't have to apologize for his beliefs.

Would it really hurt you to ask for facts on what happened with Brendan Eich before assuming the worst happened instead?

They knew about his 2008 donation as it was public record (due to California law on donations with name and employer being listed) for a couple years at least and the board and employees (apart from a small number) supported him for who he is to promote him from CTO to CEO. This was not found out after he became CEO as some mistakenly believed.

Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking or even posting the truth.

In fact Brendan refused to step down (as first link from day before shows) due to the pressure from outside campaigning to get him to resign as CEO. However it just got so bad in increasing attacks that he felt he could no longer be an effective leader with people constantly attacking him. He decided to leave as his way of helping Mozilla however this then triggered attacks more towards Mozilla due to the misconceptions made by individuals and article writers thinking was fired or forced out.


I would like to think since he was not fired or forced out he could go back to Mozilla if he wanted to when things dies down.


As of today Chris Beard joined the Mozilla Corporation Board of Directors and as the interim CEO. https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/14/mozilla-moving-forward/
