Why was your CEO forced to resign

I've uninstalled Mozilla because of the perceived companies intolerance towards freedom of perspective. Intolerance cuts both ways. When you force someone to resign because of a held view and not performance it's just as bad as if you condemned a differing view yourself. I don't want my internet browser to condemn views or take sides on views or for that matter be stupid enough to get into a national controversy surrounding those views.

Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. We welcome contributions from everyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious views. Mozilla supports equality for all. We have employees with a wide diversity of views. Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public. This is meant to distinguish Mozilla from most organizations and hold us to a higher standard. We absolutely believe both in equality and freedom of speech. Sometimes standing for both at the same time can be hard. A CEO needs to be able to lead, and under the circumstances in the last week with the scrutiny over this issue, Brendan made a personal choice to step down from the role as he was not forced nor fired.

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/"

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.
