Mozilla CEO forced out over opposition to gay marriage

The newly elected CEO and co-founder of Mozilla - the maker of the Firefox web browser - was forced into resignation today after activists pressured the company over his donation to a political campaign that opposed same-sex marriage.

Brendan Eich was forced into resigning from the company he co-founded just one month into his new role as CEO. In 2008 Eich donated $1000 to the campaign for California Proposition 8 and was widely chastised by the left press and social media. After his recent appointment as CEO his vilification was reawakened and he came under pressure from employees, press, social media and even other companies. The online dating service OKCupid even blocking users of the Firefox web browser from their site. He has now been forced to resign from his own company entirely for his use of democratic methods to voice his political (and possibly religious) beliefs.

I have been an Opera user since 2001.

I have never disliked Firefox until today. I will never use it but I never did.

Thanks Mozilla for giving me a reason to hate your guts.

Download Opera!

Did load it and just deleted it. It’s a piece of crap. I would
like to dump FireFox but it does what I want it to just
like I want it to.
That Opera is a total piece of crap, it does what it wants,
sticks you with crap you don’t want and you cant get rid
of things you don”t like.

Incompetent headline alert!

Accurate headline:
Mozilla CEO forced out over opposition to gay [support for traditional] marriage

maybe it would be more appropriate to call them the Brownshorts?
