Brendan Eich and the New American Totalitarian State: Gay Marriage Activists force Mozilla CEO out

Imagine going to work one day only to be, in effect, fired -- not because of anything you did or didn’t do at your job, but because of something you did in your personal life. Something religious. Or maybe, something political.

Imagine if you were denied a promotion at work because a co-worker found out you had made a personal donation to a conservative candidate. Imagine if your environmentally-correct boss discovered that, in your free time at home, you supported an organization that exposed the fallacies of man-made global warming and asked you for your resignation. Imagine if you were the successful CEO of Widget Corp, lauded and respected for your accomplishments, but clients or customers found out you were a tea partier and demanded you be forced out.

That’s exactly what happened to Brendan Eich, a highly-respected tech guru in Silicon Valley and co-founder of Mozilla Corporation, after he was appointed CEO in late March. In less than a week, he was forced out of this position for no reason other than that he had a made a $1000 contribution to the Prop 8 initiative in 2008. His own money. On his own time. In his private capacity. Mozilla had nothing to do with it. Nor did he discuss gay marriage at work.

In an interview with The Guardian on Wednesday, Eich told the paper “I think I am the best person for the job and I’m doing the job” and that his personal beliefs were not relevant. He couldn’t be more correct.

I looked into it a bit, but didn’t see a way to import bookmarks and setting

The Pale Moon page has a profile import tool. It worked fine for me, but the FF addons were disabled. I had to turn them back on manually.

I like Opera and use it a great deal. One weird thing...I haven’t been able to find the “home” button. I don’t think there is one.

Also, liked Opera for my tablet, but it became rather glitchy.

A pox on the gay ma-feeya.

Thank you! Turning them back n is fine for me, as long as they exist. I think probably the only way to see if my virus and security programs are compatible is to download it and see. Can always remove it if it doesn’t.
