just uninstalled your software - don't want to support a company that trys to control peoples opinions - bye.
Sorry to hear that a company with so much promise has stooped to trying to control thought and free speech - here in the United States of America.
Very disappointed - leaving your products for others.

Hey again, personally I agree with you that Mozilla should focus on a particular goal like advancing the state of the Web (openness, innovation and opportunity) which we can all unite around, no matter which political/religious/personal views we might hold otherwise.
Since I and most other helpers in this forum are volunteers and fellow Firefox users & primarily focused on providing technical support, this might not be the best place to discuss issues of organizational policy. If you're interested in continuing the conversation, the Mozilla governance mailing-list at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance would be the best place to provide your feedback.
Thank you!

Hello, since you care deeply enough to send this message instead of silently turning your back on us, you might spare a minute or two to go through these bits of information trying to clear up a some of the misconceptions that are flying around. Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking:

In general, Mozilla is not your classical corporation, but a diverse community spread all around the world - we hold all sorts of views but are united in a common mission for openness, innovation & opportunity on the web! In contrast to other companies our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public - even if they are critical of Mozilla.
Thank you for your suggested readings. I read the links. It is good to read that what is or has been reported is not completely accurate, more inaccurate than accurate.
Just an outsiders suggestion - you might want to reconsider making or stating corporate positions on issues that are so controversial. IMO there is no point - if in fact you support open or differing opinions. Making a corporate statement makes it very hard to allow private support of a contrary view.
