I am unable to locate the "feedback to Mozilla" form during uninstall of the Firefox browser. I would like to voice my disapproval of their disrespect of basic human rights, when they sacked their CEO for his personal views, which he never actively voiced. I have supported this project for 15 years and been extremly fond of the values of this open and free project. Unfortunately, it seems this has changed. I am alarmed by the fascist practice of ousting someone, who might be of a different political, ethical or whatever opinion. It seems, tolerance only goes one way. Diversity of opinions is not at all bad. Discrimination (i.e. abusing a stronger position and enforcing one's beliefs onto someone else) is bad. And unfortunately Mr. Eich has been a victim of severe discrimination as not any of his actions was deemed punishable, but the sheer belief that he might secretly hold an opinion, which a minority political group decided to fight. I am quite disappointed by the weak backbone of the Mozilla board and am just sorry for Mr. Eichs' shares in the company, which will also take a hit now, due to the stupidity of his leaders.

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:

Since this forum is a place primarily for volunteers and fellow Firefox users to provide technical support for Mozilla products and not a general place for discussing policies, I'm also going to close this thread. Should you still have any concerns on the subject that you want to discuss, please take them to the Mozilla governance mailing list located at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance instead.

Thank you!
