Remember that Mozilla is a non-profit foundation. They’re not a corporation. Leftists sit on the boards of actual corporations around the country but often check their political affiliations at the door. The leadership at Mozilla remained relatively mute. They did not challenge the crybabies in the company but they did not directly capitulate to them either. Whatever went on happened behind closed doors, as it does in every board room in America.

Eich left of his own volition, an act of professional courtesy more than anything else. He knew that his position would blemish his tenure, and he’d prefer to not be the sticky wicket. I applaud him for that. Directly engaging the homosexual lobby is like fighting with a teenager: they can often overpower you with hurtful words, but the end result is that you beat up a child and they’ll use that to shame you.

Let the children have their temper tantrums. We’ll get the last laugh. However, NOT using FF doesn’t hurt Mozilla in the least.

Not using FF is the one avenue I have to express my opinion. A single user will absolutely not have any effect on them. Millions would likely have an effect.

Oh - I see where I actually did say religious liberty - forgive my oversight of my tagline.

We will likely have to agree to disagree on this subject, FRiend. I appreciate the logical discussion, and hope I have risen to the same goal, from your perspective.

If enough people stop using FF it will. Mozilla will not be stronger after "forcing" Eich out.

I have removed it from over 44 client systems. What Mozilla did was fascist.

If Eich did not resign, he would almost certainly been removed.

I don’t agree with your statement, “Not using FF doesnt hurt Mozilla”.

Mozilla’s income, substantially all, is from Google for using Google as their default search engine.

Can Google track how much traffic comes for FF users? I am guessing they can because they paid Mozilla over $300 million.

I don’t think you have to uninstall FF to show your disapproval. You can probably just switch the default search engine or not use Google at all from FF. Bye Bye revenue stream.
