Hi FirstAmendment, Thank you for contacting Mozilla about this issue and taking the time to share your thoughts. The decision to step down 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. As this is the Firefox support forum I can only help with questions related to the specific product. If you need more info about Mozilla's CEO you can check the resources below: Mozilla Blog: https://blog.mozilla.org/ <br> Brendan Eich's Blog: https://brendaneich.com/ If you have any issues with Firefox, please post a question at [/questions/new] and someone will assist you.
