Why generate a web browser that premotes freedom; then turn around and fire a guy for his own personal freedom of thought? I thought Google was fkd up but you people just graduated above them..If you can't tolerate someone's views, then quit the bussiness of providing a web browser;simple as that.

hello klingensmith, i don't know where you have heard that brendan was fired from his post - this is not accurate.
brendan made a personal decision to step down from his role among all this ongoing frenzy and mischaracterization of him as a person and the mozilla community, in order to avert any further damage to mozilla and its mission to advance the open web.
