hello, the premise of your question is not accurate. brendan was not forced to resign by mozilla - he made the 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 - so his intentions were just the opposite of what you are trying to achieve with a call for boycott.

in addition this forum is a place to provide technical support for mozilla products, such kind of policy discussions don't belong in here (please refer to the Mozilla Support rules and guidelines). you might take any concerns you might have on the subject to the mozilla governance mailing list located at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance instead.

I did not anywhere read where Mozilla supported this man. In the corporate world "voluntary resignation" is a way to leave a company to avoid firing when your services are no longer wanted. A statement supporting this man's right to an opinion with his own money instead of bowing to an extreme view in support of "free speech if everyone agrees"would go

mozilla is not a monolithic block, it's a worldwide community where people are free to voice all sorts of opinions and beliefs - the overwhelming majority of mozillians have expressed their public support for brendan as ceo (even though most of them probably disagree with his private view 6 years ago) during this whole campaign:

when i said before that brendan made the personal decision to fully resign from his position, this was not meant as euphemism for anything else. he felt this was the only way out from a situation where he and the whole organization where dragged through the mud without much consideration.

so in the process of all of this we lost a co-founder of mozilla and a brilliant technical mind who has done so much to advance the open web. and now "your side" comes along and call for a boycott again...

1stAmmendment, they did support him as otherwise he would not have been promoted from CTO to CEO by the board if they did not right?.

Even if he were to have stepped down as CEO and went back to CTO or another role I am guessing you would still be getting the wrong impression of what happened. I think it took guts for him to leave versus being in another role in meantime for a while before deciding what to do when things died down hopefully soon.

The whole backlash towards Brendan and Mozilla only happened after he went from CTO to CEO as it may have been mainly due to his making a support donation to proposition 8 back in 2008 in which Mozilla was aware of since 2011 due to a article being written about it. If not for California law about donations requiring the name and employer and it being public record nobody perhaps would have known about it.

One gay employee did write in saying he supported Brendan being made as CEO however he did have the concern of possible public relations repercussions due to that 2008 donation he made. http://www.twobraids.com/2014/04/back-into-light.html
