Why should I support a company that does not support free speech?

If Mozilla is willing to terminate an employee simply because they don't like their speech, why should I support Mozilla? Should I uninstall Mozilla from all of the devices I have their product installed on? Both questions are really just rhetorical, so don't bother responding. At this point, I will not support them and, as such, all instances of Mozilla products will be removed and any revenue generated through me by it's use will be stopped.

Hi goffinaz,

Thanks for contacting Mozilla and taking the time to share your thoughts. However, this forum is intended for technical support on Mozilla products and NOT to discuss anything related to Mozilla executives or policies. See Forum Rules and Guidelines for our policies here. If you want to discuss this further, please do so at https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#governance, instead of here.

To answer your comments,

Mozilla didn't terminate Brendan. The decision was made by Brendan. Since the moment Brendan was appointed, free and open discussion has come from a diverse spectrum of viewpoints. Mozilla is an organization that believes in openness and that no one should be persecuted for the beliefs they hold, no matter what those beliefs are. We believe in unconditional freedom and openness. That's why we support rights for everyone.

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.

Sorry you feel that way. Feel free to use any browser you like.

Both questions are really just rhetorical, so don't bother responding.

If your questions were rhetorical, why did you post here in the first place, just to rant? As I mentioned above, direct all queries regarding this matter to https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#governance, instead of here.

Thanks!
