If Mozilla was hoping to avoid controversy by edging out former CEO Brendan Eich, the company has most certainly failed. The graph below comes from the feedback page on their site. This chart goes back to when the comment system was adopted, and the highest number of "sad" comments is today, by a factor of about two. The second highest number came yesterday.

For a flavor of the complaints, click through or just have a look:

They should re-hire the guy just to tweak people.
I sent them a message last nite that I was done with them.
Let this be a lesson to companies. When you have a situation which enrages the Left, doing something drastic to appease them will just mean that the Right is pissed off at you TOO.
What browser are you using?
Just shows that liberals are hateful and intolerant. I’d like to see Eich start a new company.
Amazing, people also gave in support of so-called same sex unions.
Hit them where it hurts!
Not that they will care, but I uninstalled Firefox on my computer today.
The guy should sue Mozilla’s sore butt.
Lately I have been using Chrome, not thrilled with having Google so far up my behind but Firefox had been acting up since somewhere around version 26 something, locking up my system and continued off and on into version 28.
The mistake they make is thinking a vocal minority of drama queens and their hetero kiss-up friends are the only ones that use web browsers.
Firefox is permanently uninstalled for me.
Isn’t Google at least as “gay” as Mozilla?
Eich been ein Moziller
I think I’ll pile on.
What technical company isn’t “gay”?
Apple? Microsoft? Oracle? Amazon?
Sad thing is, there would have been no problem if he had supported homosexual marriage. Is the meme now traditional marriage = bad, homo marriage = good? Mozilla’s statement claimed they are all about being inclusive. I guess unless you are traditional, in which case you are excluded.
I quit upgrading FF at version 15. Between versions 7 and 15, nearly every update either lost add-ons or caused a conflicts. Adobe Flash and PDF have had recurring problems with FF.
I have stopped upgrading most software, including Win 7, Java, and a few others, because every new upgrade seemed to create more conflicts than they resolved.
